I   I am the one   who believes in all that you say,   I am the one   who never wants to define herself.   I am the one   who's parallel, upfront, behind,   I am the one   paddling like crazy through the night.      Refine, old time, color-blind.   Big sign, do time, doesn't rhyme.   A lot, too much, standing tall,   and I'm crying in the valley:   "I shall never, ever fall!" and      Chorus   People are people and I   feel so strong,   People are people and I'm   going on.      People are people and I   feel so strong,   People are people and I'm   going on.      II   I am the one   who stirs it up every time,   I am the one   who never knows how close she is.   I am the one   who'd rather be dead than confess,   I am the one   trying to be good, wanting to be bad, and so on.      Excess, temptress, big mess   phony, lonely, it's a test.   Be still, my heart, don't you fail.   And I'm crying on the stage floor:   "I will always prevail!" and      Chorus   People are people and I   feel so strong,   People are people and I'm   going on.      People are people and I   feel so strong,   People are people and I'm   going on.      I'm going on...   I'm going on,    I'm going on...      I going on.
