"Oh you people," I call to the living
"Why do you lament so"
"There comes evil, it is thriving"
you answered, though
I think good may be hiding
so I'll search to and fro

"Oh you people," I call to the living
"Watch now as I go,"
"I'll find the good you're craving,
under earth, sea or snow,"
"I'll return to end your crying,
this I swear I know"

"Oh you people," I call to the living
as I search near and far
my journey is not ending
at what I thought was par
"But I made a promise I am keeping,"
I said to no one there


"Oh you people!" I call to the living
"I know not where I am!"
I said it was you I'm saving,
But I am lost, a sham
But you are far away, unhearing
Out here I am a lonely man

"Oh you people!" I call to the living
but you never hear my plight
yet what is that I'm seeing?
In the distance is a light
Now my hopes are ever freeing
a smile is my right

"Oh you people!" I call to the living
"I have found what you may seek!"
"There is good here, I have found it!"
"Though now I am old and weak!"
They hear me, their faces lit
they hear me as I speak

"Oh you people," I call to the living
as they come seeking water and bread
"thank you," they call through the building
their towers high and red
Finally done is my purpose
I find peace once I lie dead.
