Lyrics

I’ve traveled the world – Seen almost everything that I could see

I’ve seen all kinds of people who are not so different from me

Everybody hurts – And though divided by oceans

We all laugh and love and share a common bond of emotions



People are people all over the place – Imagine yourself in a different space

Driving on the left – Driving on the right – Drinking a litre – Or downing a pint

Does it really matter in the least

If people are people and we only want to live in peace



Ignorance is bliss – When we run around with blinders on

If we never leave home, how’re we ever gonna see beyond

And it’s the same everywhere – We depend on what we see on the air

The facts get distorted and exaggerated just to scare



People are people all over the place – Imagine yourself in a different space

Living in the East – Living in the West – Bathed in riches – Or living on less

Does it really matter in the least

If people are people and we only want to live in peace



People are basically good but we’re all sinners

And sometimes prejudice rules and there are no winners

History tells us to judge by the way people live

But can’t we agree most everyone has something to give



We see another side – We don’t always understand their ways

But the world’s getting smaller and it never ceases to amaze

We think we have the answers – We think everything we do is right

But different isn’t wrong and not everything is black and white



People are people all over the place – Imagine yourself in a different space

Children are children wherever they’re from – Bound to a faith or no religion for some

It doesn’t really matter in the least

‘Cause people are people and we only want to live in peace

People are people - We all want to live in peace
