Love Among People - Carla Thomas

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
