BACK TO THE PEOPLE
Stone & Sparrow
(Three Female Voices Throughout)
[Intro]
RAVEN:
What if the answer…
JUNE:
Was never far away?
SCARLETT:
What if we already had it?
ALL THREE:
All along…
⸻
[Verse 1]
RAVEN:
The farmer grows the potatoes
And the wheat out in the sun
JUNE:
The nurse helps heal the hurting
When the hard days come
SCARLETT:
The carpenter builds a table
The mechanic keeps wheels turning
ALL THREE:
Every hand has something
Another hand is needing
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
JUNE:
Not everything of value
Can be bought or sold
SCARLETT:
Some things only grow
When shared
ALL THREE:
Heart to heart
Soul to soul
⸻
[Chorus]
BACK TO THE PEOPLE!
(Back to the People!)
BACK TO THE PEOPLE!
(Back to the People!)
Back to neighbors
Back to friends
Back to helping hands again
BACK TO THE PEOPLE!
That’s where we belong
⸻
[Verse 2]
SCARLETT:
Someone fixes broken wiring
RAVEN:
Someone keeps the children safe
JUNE:
Someone knows the healing herbs
Growing by the lake
SCARLETT:
Someone teaches
RAVEN:
Someone listens
JUNE:
Someone lends a hand
ALL THREE:
Together we’re much stronger
Than we ever were alone
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
No one carries
Every gift
But everyone
Has something to give
⸻
[Chorus]
BACK TO THE PEOPLE!
(Back to the People!)
BACK TO THE PEOPLE!
(Back to the People!)
Back to kindness
Back to trust
Back to building more of us
BACK TO THE PEOPLE!
That’s where we belong
⸻
[Bridge]
RAVEN:
Less consumption…
JUNE:
More connection…
SCARLETT:
Less distraction…
ALL THREE:
More affection…
RAVEN:
Less greed…
JUNE:
More giving…
SCARLETT:
Less surviving…
ALL THREE:
More living…
⸻
[Build]
ALL THREE:
One garden…
One family…
One village…
One community…
One fire…
One song…
One place…
Where we belong…
⸻
[Final Chorus]
BACK TO THE PEOPLE!
(Back to the People!)
BACK TO THE PEOPLE!
(Back to the People!)
Back to sharing
Back to care
Knowing someone will be there
BACK TO THE PEOPLE!
Back to the human way
BACK TO THE PEOPLE!
Let’s build it every day
⸻
[Outro]
RAVEN:
The farmer…
JUNE:
The healer…
SCARLETT:
The builder…
ALL THREE:
The dreamer…
Together…
We’re stronger…
