From the recording Funktonic
Lyrics
I don't wan to rule or conquer anyone
I should like to help everyone if possible
Jew, Gentile, black man, white
We all want to help one another
Human beings are like that
We want to live by each other's happiness
Not by each other's misery
We don't want to hate and despise one another
I this world there is room for everyone
And the good earth is rich
And can provide for everyone
The way of life can be free and beautiful
But we have lost the way
Greed has poisoned men's souls
Has barricaded the world with hate
Has goose stepped us into misery and bloodshed
We have developed speed
But we have shut ourselves in
Machinery that gives abundance
Has left us in want
Our knowledge has made us cynical
Our cleverness, hard and unkind
We think to much, and feel too little
More than machinery, we need humanity
More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness
Without these qualities life will be violent
And all will be lost
We need humanity
We need kindness and gentleness
We need humanity
We need humanity
We need kindness and gentleness
We need humanity
We need kindness, we need gentleness
We need humanity
We need kindness and gentleness
The airplane and the radio has brought us closer together
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men
Cries out for universal brotherhood
For the unity of us all
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world
Millions of despairing men, women, and children
Victims of a system that makes men torture
And imprison innocent people
For those who can hear me I say
Do not despair
The misery that is now upon is but the passing of greed
The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die
And the power they took from the people will return to the people
And so long as men die, liberty will never perish
For those who can hear me I say
Do not despair
The misery that is now upon is but the passing of greed
The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die
And the power they took from the people will return to the people
And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
