Humankind

歌詞

How can I let my eyes fall become blind to what I’ve seen And pretend that it’s okay to say well the world’s alright with me When the innocent suffer our greed I can’t silence the sound of their cries When we kill for a sport, faith, oil or a fashion We’re at peace letting sleeping dogs lie There’s nowhere to hide when it hits me from all sides No excuse for not understanding I am humankind I can make changes Well I watch as the waters they rise and the wind blows cold at my door Though I feel myself turning away, I can’t stop looking anymore It’s too easy to shut out the noise, not to read the words written in blood And the way that we cover our sins is to sail a boat over the floods There’s nowhere to hide when it hits me from all sides No excuse for not understanding I am humankind I can make changes I can start listening I can make changes
