[Verse 1]
(Do) do (do) you (feel) (feel) feel me?
(Do) do (do) you (feel) (feel) feel me?

Do you see the faces
Round and 'round the places?
(Round and 'round the places?)
Are they people that you want to know?
(That you want to know?)
Do you see the faces
Running 'round to different places?
(Running 'round to different places?)
Are they people that you want to know?
(That you want to know?)

[Bridge]
Yes, I see their faces one by one
Yes, I see their joy and sadness
Every single face there lies a trace
Of sadness felt before

[Verse 2]
(Do) do (do) you (feel) (feel) feel me?
(Do) do (do) you (feel) (feel) feel me?

Do you see the faces
Running 'round to different places?
(Running 'round to different places?)
Are you people that we want to know?
(That we want to know?)
We're the people going
Round and 'round to difference places
(Round and 'round to difference places)
You're the people that we want to know
(That we want to know)

[Bridge]
Yes, you are the ones
You are the ones
Every word I say
I say true, yeah, true
Every single face there lies a trace
Of sadness felt before

[Chorus]
Take a ride on a rocket
Take your mind, unlock it
You all know we can do it
If you put your mind to it
Take your life as you feel it
Let no one deceive it
You all know we can do it
If you put you mind to it

[Verse 3]
Yes, I've seen
Yes, I've seen these lovely, lovely places
Are we people that you want to know?
(Want to know?)
Smiling faces with long lasting traces
You're the people that we want to know
You're the people that we want to know
(You're the people that we want to know)
You're the people that we want to know
(You're the people that we want to know)

[Chorus]
Take a ride on a rocket
Take your mind, unlock it
You all know we can do it
If you put your mind to it
Take your life as you feel it
Let no one deceive it
You all know we can do it
If you put you mind to it

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
