Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. We fell asleep now here we areIn this world among the starsNever knowing just how far we’ve comeTrying to understand it allRising everytime we fallReaching out and learning how to loveThere’s sadness and joyPleasure and painAnd though we’re all so differentWe’re strangely all the same
We’re just peopleSent here from heavenWe’re just peopleliving, breathing soulsWith beating hearts and crying eyesYearning for a better lifeWorking hard to find our way back homeWe’re just people
2. Different cultures different worldsLanguages and barriersLeading our completely different livesAnd even though we disagreeOn just about everythingWe can leave our differences asideAnd be there for each otherWhenever there’s a needEvery strength and every weaknessCan help us all to see
We’re just peopleSent here from heavenWe’re just peopleliving, breathing soulsWith beating hearts and crying eyesYearning for a better lifeWorking hard to find our way back homeWe’re His peopleMade in His imageWe’re His peopleChildren of God
We’re His peopleSent here from heavenAmazing peopleliving, breathing soulsWith beating hearts and crying eyesYearning for a better lifeWorking hard to find our way back home
We’re His peopleSent here from heavenAmazing peopleliving, breathing soulsWith beating hearts and crying eyesYearning for a better lifeWorking hard to find our way back homeWe’re just peopleBut we’re so much more than peopleWe’re His peopleWe are so much more than people
