In these times of trouble I will love mankind When my cup runs over I will love mankind When I'm feeling all is lost, that the race is up That the evil we do is taking us When the trails that we face are just too much And the wounds that we nurse are killing us I will love mankind When my friends betray me I will love mankind When my accounts are empty I will love mankind I will love them because I'm commanded to I will love them because that's what we're meant to do For we're living our lives in a finite place In a world that has endings to our power plays So I'll love mankind When all hope is lost I will love mankind When I can't bear the cost I will love mankind And I don't know how to tell you how important this is How much suffering can be ended, opportunities missed To just stop hating and start loving instead And to see god above is really interested In loving mankind
