Loved People

(album: The Gospel At 23 - 2020)

Oh, I went to the Lord
And I asked him "Why do
Hurt people hurt people?"
Oh, I went to the Lord
And I asked him "Why do
Hurt people hurt people?"

Then from the highest mountain top
The truth, it hit me like a rock
Loved people love people

Oh, I went to my mama
And I asked her "Why do
Shady people shade people?"
Oh, I turned to my father
And I asked him "Why do
Hated people hate people?"

They said that life is gonna burn
Unless you take the time to learn how to
Love people, love people

We gotta
Lo-lo-lo-lo-love people
We gotta
Lo-lo-lo-lo-love people
Yes, we gotta
Lo-lo-lo-lo-love people
We gotta
Lo-lo-lo-lo-love people

'Cause we got power, corruption
Toxic interruption
Lonely feeding the hopeless

And we got users, abusers
Beggars being choosers
They don't know where the love lives

So I went to my sisters
And I asked them "Why do
Hollow people follow people?"
And I turned to my brothers
And I asked them "Why do
Hollow people follow people?"

You won't ever fill your heart
By playing someone else's part, find some
Loved people, 'cause they love people

We got power, corruption
Media consumption
Lonely feeding the hopeless

'Cause we got users, abusers
Beggars being choosers
They don't know where the love lives
They don't know where the love is

Oh, I laid in my bed
And it hit me
Blessed people bless people

I sat up in that bed
And it hit me (Oh)
Blessed people bless people

If there's hate up in your heart
I swear, it's not too late to start
Loved people love people

Blessed people
(Bless people)
Saved people
(Save people)
Taught people
(Teach people)
Helped people
(Help people)
Hugged people
(Hug people)
Served people
(Serve people)
Healed people
(Heal people)
Loved people
(Love people)

If we make the changes now, the lord will bring love back around
So love
People
