Lyrics
Some People
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some people live each week in fun and play
From sweat by you and by me
While we must toil so long each day
Just to stay alive and free
Some people live in homes, so content and reposed
Unrushed through all the woe
While we share that woe
With those who have no woe at all
Some people live with much and care the least
If war should end or stay
While we, with less, pay more for peace
Uum, why should it be this way ?
Oh, the day's sure to come
When we would have to live
In love and peace and happiness
And we will have the will to love
And to give to those who do have less
