Just Too Many People
Breaking Chains of Indecision: Melissa Manchester's Empowering Anthem
Lyrics
Somebody told me a long, long time ago
Someone advised me a long time ago
Oh baby - I feel a change in me
Expressing a sense of personal transformation
Is comin' on
An impending change is on the horizon
I've found the strength I need
Discovering the inner strength required
To carry on
Finding the resilience to continue
Something's come over me at last
A sudden change or realization has occurred
Sweet darlin' - long as you stay by me
Addressing a loved one and seeking support
I'm halfway home
Feeling a sense of progress with the support
I can see brighter days before me
Optimism about a brighter future
Though it's been stormy
Acknowledging challenges but maintaining hope
At least I know I'm not alone
Understanding that one is not alone in difficulties
'Cause there's just too many people
Highlighting the prevalence of people in the world
In this world
Expressing uncertainty and indecision
Who are undecided
Observing a lack of commitment in many
There's just too many broken people
Pointing out broken individuals unwilling to take a stand
Afraid to take a stand
Noting fear hindering action
There's just too many lonely people
Highlighting the abundance of lonely individuals
Livin' in a house divided
Describing a world divided by loneliness and sorrow
By loneliness and sorrow
Expressing confusion and inability to comprehend
I'll never understand
The inability to understand the situation fully
Somebody told me a long, long time ago
Repeating the advice received long ago
Remember when you need something to believe in
Encouraging the search for something to believe in
Look in my eyes to find your heaven
Inviting a deeper connection by looking into the eyes
I'll make it happen
Expressing a commitment to making positive things happen
I need to know you're there
Seeking reassurance of the presence of the other
'Cause there's just too many people
Reiterating the prevalence of people in the world
In this world
Highlighting indecision among individuals
Who are undecided
Observing a lack of commitment on a global scale
There's just too many broken people
Pointing out broken individuals hesitant to take a stand
Afraid to take a stand
Emphasizing the fear preventing decisive action
There's just too many lonely people
Highlighting the prevalence of lonely individuals
Livin' in a house divided
Describing a world divided by loneliness and sorrow
By loneliness and sorrow
Expressing overwhelming emotions
It's more than I can stand
Describing the emotional burden as intolerable
