They are the people

They Are the People (Song)

By Gary Washington aka Michael Venegar

The Uncle Gary

VERSE 1

I listen to the breeze as it whizzes by my window

I hear the cries of the one who have no one to listen to them

CHORUS

They are the people who we tend not to see

Why can’t we understand their misery?

Why can’t we hear them crying for us …?

VERSE 2

to take them in our hearts and give them compassion

they need a purpose in life once again and someone to talk to

CHORUS

They are the people who are dying everyday

Why can’t we help them find a better way?

Why can’t we see crying out for us?

BRIDGE

Guns are everywhere, mothers on welfare

Won’t you please look around you and see

Crack is in the streets the children cannot eat

And it’s a shame that we don’t care….

CHORUS

They are the people who are dying everyday

Why can’t we help them find a better way?

Why can’t we see them crying, crying, dying?
