Come and see the brilliant light |
|
don't let your emotions mask your sight |
|
it's the manifestation of a deeper fight |
|
that affects me and you |
|
my optimism was running high |
|
a new world order was on my mind |
|
but I couldn't belive it when I heard them say |
|
they're blowing it away |
|
and the fertile crescent is burning today |
|
and baby my emotions are too |
|
the cradle of humanity has led us all astray |
|
and we're all in this tigether don't you know |
|
'cause our species has nowhere else to go |
|
aggression rears its ugly head |
|
retaliation brings further dread |
|
the two are linked by unseen threads |
|
that wind back through time |
|
I don't agree with the outdated trend |
|
nationalism is an evil friend |
|
but hatred is instilled by invisible lines |
|
drawn in our minds |
|
and the fertile crescent is haunting us today |
|
and baby our instincts are too |
|
the ghost of humanity is warning us this way |
|
and I think we all should need it don't you know |
|
'cause we've got nowhere else to go |
