Closer to the People lyrics

I'm just a poor girl trying to be free

Can you follow me?

I'm just a poor girl trying to be free

I'm not made of rags and bone

I want my soul and spirit flown

And the glory that's a morning of our own

Closer to the people

Bring me

Closer to the people

Gotta get

To the Be-Bop

Playing with my mind

I was hip

Like O'Day

Haunted by a Lullaby

Closer to the people

Bring me

Closer to the people

Gotta get

To the living

On the other side

When they shout

When they holler

Don't leave me in this double night

Closer to the people

Bring me

Closer to the people

When I look up to heaven

And I see the climb

Every step

I dance brightly

"La Pas Ma La" of old Ragtime

Closer to the people

Bring me

Closer to the people

Bring me

Closer to the people
