You are my People

YOU ARE MY PEOPLE  (after Compton Dumdon Hill Nov 1995)

Thank you to my friends 

That I met here in the wood

I've tasted your wine 

And I think that it's good

My feet are so weary

My mind is so sore

I'm thinking that my Mother

Will soon settle her score

I've travelled on land

And I've travelled in mind

Folks can be distrusting

Folks can be kind

But you don't live in houses

Don't put up no walls

You harmonise a loving song

And live by Nature's Laws

No words can describe

The visions that you see

The land, the stone, the river run

The branches of a tree

You are my people 

A home that is to roam

Let us join to ride the time

A long low wholesome road

Deep in my bones

I can feel her unease

Though my mind is sore

It knows the reason

Oh mankind have we gone 

Too far to go back

So friends it's survival

To find that wholesome track

This is what we are my friends

Beneath the starry sky

This is what we is my loves

And never wonder why
