We are people - a solidarity song

UPDATE: I wrote this song for solidarity during lockdown and now it‘s again important to stand together against hate and racism. We are people!

lyrics:

"We are people"

In this jail made of fears and this walls made of stone
sitting here watch the news hear these things beyond the known

And while I stay here in here, in this numb and breathless silence
I hear a song, my boy is singing, it sets him free, he starts to dance
The sky breaks up, a shining light guides us how this pain to fight


We are people, we are family, keep you in mind and in my heart
No angry mind, no lonely hater, no bitter rant tears us apart

On your quest for control keep in mind what’s left to you
so maybe this system fails but will you? It’s up to you....
The sky breaks up, a shining light shows us how these fears to fight

We are people we are family keep you in mind and in my heart
No angry mind, no lonely hater, no bitter rant tears us apart
