My People Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) with lyrics
My People...Recorded in Berlin with voices from around the world, filmed in Dubai, edited in Kuala Lumpur the film mimics the colourful spirit of the 70s yet reflects the powerful march of people today hopefully heading towards a new dawn of freedom. LYRICS: My People When you gonna leave My People? Give them room to breath My People? Stop oppressing My People? All they want is bread, clothes Space to rest - and left alone My People: When you gonna free My People? Let them live in peace Stop killing My People? All they need is dignity A chance to be free My People Stop making scared My People Let them out of jail My People Stop building walls around My People When you gonna show you care Join the people in the square My People My People See them coming now My People Can't you hear them shout? My People Everyday, everywhere Stop running from My People Stop stealing from My People Stop pointing guns at My People Oh, Come on My People Come on, come on My People Come on, come on My People God show them the way My People God show them the way My People See them pray My People Come on, come on My People Oh, My People Come on My People Keep on keeping on
