Beverley Craven, Judie Tzuke & Julia Fordham - Humankind Lyrics

Beverley Craven, Judie Tzuke & Julia Fordham Lyrics

"Humankind"

I am humankind...

How can I let my eyes fall
And 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
And 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
And no excuse for not understanding
I am humankind, I can make changes
I can start listening
I can make changes

There's nowhere to hide
When it hits me from all sides
And no excuse for not understanding
I am humankind

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
I am humankind
...
