Nature, nature, human nature

I scrolled down my news feed
There was a play of hate
The warring
Never ceased

It hits home
As it always does
You listen to the sounds of children playing in the pool
Watch them walking to school

And you think
What have I done with my hands and feet
In this great machine
Substituting someone
Close to me

Nature, nature, human nature
Tell me something about peace
Tell me something new
I haven't moved for a thousand years

The rivers are full of tears
I feel so lost
The God's are arguing in the sky
So loud
They can't hear me cry

Nature, nature, human nature
Tell me about yourself
Tell me about harmony
Tenderness and care
Because I can't find them written down anywhere

Nature, nature, human nature
Bring us together
From the day until night
Take me in your arms
Wake me up and put me to sleep

Nature, nature, human nature
I know you are there
I know you are everywhere
Is there a chord I can play
So that you can hear me?
