Tanita Tikaram - 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 & bone I want my soul & 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 living Playing with my mind I was hip Like o'day Haunted by a lul-la-bye Closer to the people Bring me closer to the people 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 Gotta get To the be-bop Closer to the people Bring me closer to the people
