PEOPLE ARE YOU READY

CHORUS
People are you ready
To do your best
For everyone
Put this in your daily plan

People are you ready
To do your best
For everyone
Put this in your daily plan

Marcus was a dreamer
Malcolm and Martin too
Joseph from the tribe of Israel
He was a dreamer too
Marcus was a dreamer
Malcolm and Martin too
Joseph just like Marley
He was a dreamer too

CHORUS

No matter if you're young or old
Spread your love around the world
And just like a rainbow
We shall weep no more
No matter if you're young or old
Spread you love around the world
And just like a rainbow
We shall weep no more

CHORUS

No matter where you come from
Release the good intentions in your mind
Never ever give up the fight
'Til everyone is free in this'a time
No matter where you come from
Release the good intentions in your mind
Never ever give up the fight
'Til everyone is free in this'a time
