So Many People Lyrics

[Main Vocals: Shaun Escoffery]
Feeling like a soldier on the run I
I've seen a thousand moons and many suns
I feel like, I've been buying time
I know that, it's the start of my
True, destiny and how I dare to dream
I held onto it so selfishly
I'm not afraid of what the master sees
It's my inner man, and it's all on me

There's a million different ways I see
How I can change my personality
Cause I'm soooo...

[Hook: Backup]
So many people, so many people
So many people, so many people

[Adlib: Shaun Escoffery]
So so many different people

[Main Vocals: Shaun Escoffery]
There ain't no better show in town, you see
Cause I'm standing still but I've been around

[Hook: Backup]
So many people, so many people
So many people, so many people
[Adlib: Shaun Escoffery]
I'm so many different people

[Main Vocals: Shaun Escoffery]
Times when I was walking in the dark, I
Walking strong, but never left the path
They say no man, ever stands alone
Bringing freedom home was my only only only goal

We see no end in sight
But we can never give up the fight
From way hear freedom ring
Her sweet melody
Full of hope, we call for change
Free us from these heavy chains
We can sing our freedom songs
They can never keep us down
These struggles made us strong
Emancipation, boy
Was our only friend
Held all our dignity
We were not afraid to fight
They'll die for far too long
And still our only cry
Our only only cry
So many people
[Hook: Backup]
So many people, so many people
So many people, so many people

[Main Vocals: Shaun Escoffery]
Ain't know better show in town
I'm standing still but I, I get around

[Hook: Backup]
So many people, so many people
So many people, so many people

[Adlib: Shaun Escoffery]
So so many different people

[Outro: Backup]
We're singing freedom songs
We are a billion strong
We're singing freedom songs
We are a billion strong
We're singing freedom songs
We are a billion strong
We're singing freedom songs
We are a billion strong

[Out: Backup] (X12 / 12 times)
We're singing freedom songs
We are a billion strong
