We are who we are   But we are still all human No matter how vast the world we live in No matter how near or how far We are where we are We are all human No matter the hue of our skin We are all human We are not all men But we are all human No matter the nationality or origin We are all human No matter how thick or how thin We are all human No matter how great our sins We are all human No matter faith Or what we believe in We are all human We do not love or hate the same things But we are all human No matter how strong the convictions Nation against nation or between simple citizens We are all human No matter the civil Or social unrest that has risen We are all human No matter the wars we wage No matter the battles we win No matter the violence that's made In the end it's humans both sides are burying Human life lost that both sides are mourning The weight of human life in the caskets they're carrying But both sides are still human One thing we all have in common Times not our friend It is and should be our only end But… In the news I only hear about humans ending humans Why is it that I see violence   Why is it that when I look around I see humans But… Little humanity

Humanity
We are who we are   But we are still all human No matter how vast the world we live in No matter how near or how far We are where we are We are all human No matter the hue of our skin We are all human We are not all men But we are all human No matter the nationality or origin We are all human No matter how thick or how thin We are all human No matter how great our sins We are all human No matter faith Or what we believe in We are all human We do not love or hate the same things But we are all human No matter how strong the convictions Nation against nation or between simple citizens We are all human No matter the civil Or social unrest that has risen We are all human No matter the wars we wage No matter the battles we win No matter the violence that's made In the end it's humans both sides are burying Human life lost that both sides are mourning The weight of human life in the caskets they're carrying But both sides are still human One thing we all have in common Times not our friend It is and should be our only end But… In the news I only hear about humans ending humans Why is it that I see violence   Why is it that when I look around I see humans But… Little humanity
