We Are The People

We can remember swimming in December
Heading for the city lights in 1975
We share in each other
Nearer than father
The scent of a lemon drips from your eyes
We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now, we can try
We lived an adventure
Love in the Summer
Followed the Sun till night
Reminiscing other times of life
For each every other
The feeling was stronger
The shock hit eleven, got lost in your eyes
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can’t you be believing now
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can’t you be believing now
Can you remember and humanise
It was where we’d energised
Lie in the sand and visualise
Like it's '75 again
We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now, we can try
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can’t you be believing now
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can’t you be believing now
I know everything about you
You know everything about me
Know everything about us
I know everything about you
You know everything about me
Know everything about us
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can’t you be believing now
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can’t you be believing now
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can’t you be believing now
