lyrics

Humanity

I believe in humanity I believe in the people
putting faith in your neighbor instead of god isn't evil
and we're decaying matter
organic family of stardust that’s scattered
with no purpose and nothing matters
no grand scheme a spec inside the stream of life and if we work together we'd find we are the beam of light guiding earth through he galaxy we're divided my fallacies that pit us against each other turn us all to causality but beyond race color region or religion we share the same components and a like minded vision but yo with all this tension there's dissension in the masses there's no communication and the disconnect is tragic

But we will live on
The people are strong
We bind together through power of song
We shape the planet through the power of song
We send this message through the power of song humanity shall prevail

I gaze into an empty sky and dream that when I die like all the other people I'll return to earth’s easel and I'll seep through the soil return to the canvas as a different shade of life rising to the sunlight and then the cycle is seeded no higher power needed if we rely on each other then we can start to believe It we can carve a new path with no fear of heavens wrath free minds can shackles of our broken past
We forget where we are rooted unity feels truant got faith in my fellow humans it's happiness we're pursuing but still in my profession my job is protection of freethinking animals who cherish something tangible

Chorus

So until we lose our bright flaming centerpiece lets live inside of moments and find a smile sense of peace and push the limits of the willpower that's filling me and try to rise above the heights of all of my abilities and I will not participate in hatred of men based solely on location or the flag of their nation but we gotta make a dollar bill with strong sense of urgency but humans should never trade their passion for some currency I wanna spend my time connecting with crowds making them proud to be themselves no heaven and no hell respect each other's lives with no divine reward just a warmth from the core and ask for nothin more but as the days pass it seems I don't live in reality if that's the case then I'll never leave my minds gallery uh

Chorus
