It's a May night, with just a little left of the daylight,
sitting on the stoop feeling alright, and the city starts to feel like home.
Because on my block, some kids are skipping rope on the sidewalk,
The windows and doors are being unlocked to step outside and say hello.
Cause we the people, the people, the people, the people, come on people,
We are not alone.
Well it's a long way with every local stop on the subway,
from Pattison to Fern but it's okay, cause I ain't on this trip alone.
Cause when I ride low I smile at the people in my row,
and when they smile back that's when I know that the rhythm's gonna take us home.
Cause we the people, the people, the people, the people, come on people,
We are not alone.
Come on girl, move your hips, come on baby kiss my lips,
come on move a little closer, baby.
Lay it down, let it flow, shout it out, let em know,
that we ain't people now and we don't have to be alone.
Well my shoes are broken down and battered with holes through,
but now that I'm here I wanna thank you for giving me a reason to stay.
I've got a warm bed, the voices getting quiet in my head,
leaving just the words that my mama said, "You already know the way."
Cause we the people, the people, the people, the people, come on people,
We are not alone.
