Come and see the brilliant lights
Don't let your emotions mask your sight
It's a manifestation of a deeper fight
That effects me and you
My optimism was running high
A new world order was on my mind
But I couldn't believe it when I heard them say
They're throwing it away . . . (highG)
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 together 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 this out-dated trend,
Nationalism's but an evil friend
Hatred's 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 heed it don't you know,
Cause we don't know where else to go.
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 heed it don't you know
Cause we've got nowhere else to go.
