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
