People On A String Lyrics - Roberta Flack

All things beneath the sun, 

Beneath the sun, 

Seem real, seem one. 

But all things are not the way 

they're meant 

to be, 

Free from all harm and dishonesty, 

Dishonesty, 

My love. 

No night, 

Not one star that shines, 

No star that shines, 

Stands truth and time. 

When hands faster than the eye can see 

Take all we 

really love.

9 Misheard Christmas Carol Lyrics 

Tell me now, 

Tell me now. 

Hard to keep on waiting. 

Can I count on you? 

Or do I lose you, too? 

Are we like all things? 

Like people on a string? 

When games go beyond the games all others play, 

No one 

is free from harm and dishonesty, 

Dishonesty, 

My love.

All things, 

all things we know, all things beautiful, 

soon we find 

they change and go, change and go. 

When fools want to take control 

Of destiny, 

No one with a heart is ever free, 

Not ever free, 

My love. 

Tell me now, 

Tell me now. 

It's hard to keep on waiting. 

Can I count on you? 

Or do I lose you, too? 

Are we like all things? 

Like people on a string?
