Lyrics Love Among People - Carla Thomas

Love Among People

You might think you’ve got yourself a friend in your neighbor
But, if you think he’s truly a friend, ask for a favor
And just because he smiles at you that doesn’t mean his friendship’s true
So, to live in harmony, here’s what we got to do
To make a brother thing, yeah
Or a sister thing, come on
It’s gonna take love among people
All to bring us closer together
Oh, yeah, gotta get closer
We give signs of unity, we see 'em all day long
But when a brother truly needs a brother, seems like he’s on his own, yeah
Why pretend to be my friend?
Oh, when I turn my head, oh, you do me in
To resist, oh yes, we must
But our purpose is a little bit more than just
To do unto others as they do unto us
To make a brother thing, yeah
Or a sister thing, oh, come on
It’s gonna take love among people
All to bring us closer, yeah, yeah
Closer together, yes
A love among people
Love among people, yes it will
Love among people is gonna keep us together
Sho 'nuff together
If you believe in this song, oh, come on, shout it out, shout it out
Love among people
Everybody, ring it out, ring it out
Love among people
'Cause I feel it now, I feel it now
It’s gonna keep us closer together, together
Sing it out, sing it out
Love among people
