Too Many People
Too many people are dyin' across this land
Too many people are cryin', they just don't understand
That the lives that they are livin'
And the time that they are spendin'
Yes, and the houses they are buildin'
Are built upon sand
Too many people are seekin' just all they can get
Too many people are sinkin' so deep in their debt
And the lives that they are livin'
Will end in death just for a beginning
Yes, and the houses they are buildin'
Will crumble to sand
But oh my brothers, won't you come near
And oh my sisters, won't you lend me your ear
The life you're livin' got you runnin' in fear
Too many people are dyin' across this land
Too many people are cryin', they just don't understand
That the lives that they are livin'
And the time that they are spendin'
Yes, and the houses they are buildin'
Whoa yes, mm whoa...
Will crumble to sand
Too many people are cryin', they just don't understand
That the lives that they are livin'
And the time that they are spendin'
Yes, and the houses they are buildin'
Are built upon sand
Too many people are seekin' just all they can get
Too many people are sinkin' so deep in their debt
And the lives that they are livin'
Will end in death just for a beginning
Yes, and the houses they are buildin'
Will crumble to sand
But oh my brothers, won't you come near
And oh my sisters, won't you lend me your ear
The life you're livin' got you runnin' in fear
Too many people are dyin' across this land
Too many people are cryin', they just don't understand
That the lives that they are livin'
And the time that they are spendin'
Yes, and the houses they are buildin'
Whoa yes, mm whoa...
Will crumble to sand
