SO, I SAT OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL ON THE STAIRS IN 1974 AND STARTED WRITING THIS SONG. I STILL HAVE THE SCRIBBLES. THE WINDOW OF THE ENGLISH ROOM FLEW OPEN AND MY ENGLISH TEACHER MRS. WATKINS HOLLERED OUT " STOP THAT RACKET ! I'M TRYING TO TEACH A CLASS HERE" SO I RESPONDED " CLOSE THE WINDOW I AM WRITING A SONG HERE" SHE WAS MY FAVORITE IN SOME WAYS. I LOVE TO READ AND SHE WAS A GOOD TEACHER. THIS YEAR I SENT HER THE TELL ME PEOPL PART OF THE SONG 51 YEARS LATER. YOU KNOW--YOU NEVER KNOW.

TELL ME PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR WORLD
CRASHING DOWN AROUND YOU
TELL ME PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR WORLD
WHEN IT’S CRASHING DOWN AROUND YOU

TELL ME PEOPLE TELL ME PEOPLE
TELL ME WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO
TELL ME PEOPLE TELL ME PEOPLE
WHERE YOU GOING TO

CAUSE THIS WORLD WILL NEVER BE
A PLACE FOR YOU AND ME
SO DON’T YOU TRY TO HARD TO FIT IN
WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN’T WIN

TIME GOES BY AND PASSES SLOWLY
LOOK AROUND YOU NOT CHANCE TO GO
TO ANYWHERE, IS NO WHERE AT ALL
YOU TRY YOU’LL STUMBLE YOU’LL FALL

SO, TELL ME PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR WORLD
IT’S CRASHING DOWN AROUND YOU
TELL ME PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR WORLD
CRASHING DOWN AROUND YOU


TELL ME PEOPLE TELL ME PEOPLE
TELL ME WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO
TELL ME PEOPLE TELL ME PEOPLE
WHERE YOU GOING TO

HERE I AM WANDERING ON
IN THE EYE OF THE STORM
ALWAYS TAKING MY TURN
OH, THE THNGS THAT I'VE LEARNED

MOVING ON IN A CLOUD
AN EVER-PROTECTIVE DARK SHROUD
ALWAYS STUCK ON THE DAWN
IT NEVER COMES

I'VE GOT PLENTY OF TIME FOR TOMORROW
SO, I'LL JUST BE ON MY WAY
AT LEAST I DON'T HAVE TO BORROW
THINGS ARE MINE THAT I SAY

STILL, I'M HERE WANDERING ON
IN THE EYE OF STORM
I WON'T LOOK FOR THE DAWN ANYMORE
IN THE EYE OF THE STORM

I’VE GOT PLENTY OF TIME FOR TOMORROW
SO, I'LL JUST BE ON MY WAY....
TELL ME PEOPLE
TELL ME PEOPLE
WHERE ARE YOU GOIN TO?
TELL ME PEOPLE
TELL ME PEOPLE
TELL ME WHERE YOU GOIN TO?

SO, IF YOUR SAD AND YOU CAN'T GAIN
LIFE IS FULL OF MISERY AND PAIN
YOU MAY SEE I FEEL THE SAME
SO, TELL ME TRULY HAVE NO SHAME

SHORT SOLO

TELL ME PEOPLE
TELL ME PEOPLE
WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO?

TELL ME PEOPLE
TELL ME PEOPLE
WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO?
