“There’s gotta be some group of people out there that I can actually relate to, right? Right, guys? Guys?”

lyrics

He said, 'Son, you're kind of out of place
You should see the looks on their faces
I know your kind, I know your type
You hate empty promises from all this hype
You're looking for a place of new tradition
A place where you can just ease the tension
You're always asking bitter questions
Wondering when you can leave the nest, yeah.'

CHORUS:
Where are all the people
I've read about?
Shall I take a leap, oh?
Are they hidden underground?
If you're out there, people
Can you shout?
Where do you keep, oh?
Tell me what it's all about.

And so I replied with a shaky voice,
'You read my mind, I have no choice
I'm packing my bags, I'm leaving tonight
I'm not supposed to be on this flight
I'm heading out to find my people
They'll help me out if I'm not able
Thank you for all that you've done
I think by now we've already won
Yeah, we've won.'

CHORUS

I know you're out there
'Cause you're certainly not here
I know I'm one of you
I have no fear.

I can't see the raven, but I hear it singing
I'm getting close and my ears are ringing
Keep walking through grass and cracked cement
'Cause when you reach your people, there'll be no lament
They'll invite you in, they'll welcome you
You'll be able to naturally compute
And finally you'll have found your home
Until you wish to be alone.

CHORUS
