I'm just a poor girl trying to be free Can you follow me I'm just a poor girl trying to be free I'm not made of rags and bone I want my soul and spirit flown And the glory that's a morning of our own
Closer to the people Bring me closer to the people
Gotta get To the living Playing with my mind I was hip Like o'day Haunted by a lul-la-bye
Closer to the people Bring me closer to the people
On the other side When they shout When they holler Don't leave me in this double night
Closer to the people Bring me closer to the people
When I look up to heaven And I see the climb Every step I dance brightly La pas ma la of old ragtime Gotta get To the be-bop
