My People Jimmy Cliff

My people are not your people
And your people are not my people
And my people are not your people
Oh no

I loved you because I was lonely
Wondering and also lost
And in order to have a good future
I was searching to find my past
Wherever thou goest I would go
But I found out your greatest seeing is to know

My people are not your people
And your people are not my people
And my people arе not your people
Oh no

I knew you whеn I was a drifter
Suffering with no connection
You knew me more than I knew myself
But you would point me in my direction
I was in the dark, you were in the light
Now I can tell day from night

My people are not your people
And your people are not my people
And my people are not your people
Oh no
