Lyrics

Ev ery day

they pass me by,

I can see it

in their eyes,

emp ty peo ple filled

with care, for

head ed who

who’s lost.

On they go

through

pri vate pain,

liv ing fear

to fear,

laugh ter hides

their si lent cries

on ly Je sus hears.

Peo ple need the Lord,

peo ple need the Lord,

at the end

of bro ken dreams

He’s the o pen door.

Peo ple need the Lord,

peo ple need the Lord,

when will

we re al ize,

peo ple need

the Lord.

when will

we re al ize,

that we

must give our lives

for peo

the Lord.

Peo
