because of you

•

because of you
i've learned to love the people

the people are in your mouth
your mouth is the people's smile
they carry your smile like a flag

the people are in your eyes
your eyes are the people's
sweet honey of hope

the people are in your hands
your hands are the people's sword
you are a guitar in their hands

the people are in your feet
your feet are the people's joy
they are the people's wings

i wouldn't give up washing dishes
because i am of the people
and you and the people

are my greatest treasure
