People

[Verse 1]
Fragile as a dandelion weed
Strong as skyscraper steel
Scraped up from the dust of the earth
Shaped like clay on the potter’s wheel
We got roots that go back generations
And dreams that stretch for miles
And you can see ‘em all
In granddaddy’s polaroid gap-tooth smile

[Chorus]
We’re storytellers and ocean crossers
Belly laughers, baby makers and moon walkers
So many kinds of different, so many ways the same
We love, we hate, we complicate, put all our crazy on parade
Such a mess but so beautiful, people

[Verse 2]
Always wanting more than what we got
But scared to let go of what we have
All walking down a road that won’t make sense
Till we’re there and looking back
Born to stand out in a crowd
And dying to fit in
Trying to change the world before
The world spins round again

[Chorus]
We’re storytellers and ocean crossers
Belly laughers, baby makers and moon walkers
So many kinds of different, so many ways the same
We love, we hate, we complicate, put all our crazy on parade
Such a mess but so beautiful, people
Yeah, people

[Chorus 2]
We’re shower singers, love letter writers
Barefoot dancers, kitchen kissers and drunk diallers
So many kinds of different, so many ways the same
We love, we hate, we complicate, put all our crazy on parade
Such a mess but so beautiful, people
Mmm, people
