Intro

Man by himself lives in a world a world of his own

But there's no one who can live in the world all alone

Chorus

 For it takes all kinds of people

 It doesn't matter where they come from

 Yes it takes all kinds of people

 The good, the bad, and everyone

On the way up, a man can walk over his friends

What goes up comes down, one day he may need them again

Chorus

 in )

There'll come the day when everyone passes him by

What will he say when nobody answers his cry?

 That it takes all kinds of people

 It doesn't matter where they come from

 Yes it takes all kinds of people

 It may take some time but each man will find

 That he needs all kinds of people

 That he must believe in people

 Yes it takes all kinds of people to make a world
