These People Lyrics

Imagine your life without a melody
This sweet love song for you for me to sing
Imagine my life without your morning smile
Your look of love that says, ‘stay awhile’

These people, sent to test us
Sent to play with our minds
Come on baby
We’re a little stronger
I know we can survive

Oh yeah
Moving through a different part of our lives
On a raging sea they say that man survived
We move them to a different part of our heart
Come on baby now
Let us start

These people, sent to test us
Sent to play with our minds
Come on baby
We’re a little stronger
I know we can survive

I, I know we can survive
Oh Oh Oh

Could there be life without a melody?
A soixante-neuf without the erotique?
Imagine my life without your morning smile
That look of love that says, ‘stay awhile’

These people, sent to test us
Sent to play with our minds
Come on baby
We’re a little stronger
I know we can survive
(I know we can survive)

These people, sent to test us
Sent to play with our minds
Come on baby
We’re a little stronger
I know we can survive
(I know we can survive)
I know we can survive
(I know we can survive)
(I know we can survive)

I feel like a number one again
I’m like I’m born again
Hand in hand in the sun
Hand in hand in the sun
Hand in hand in the sun
Ooh yeah

You On My Mind In My Sleep

Imagine your life without a melody
This sweet love song for you for me to sing

Hand in hand in the sun
Hand in hand in the sun
Hand in hand in the sun
Ooh yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
