come and see the brilliant light
don't let your emotions mask your sight
it's the manifestation of a deeper fight
that affects me and you
my optimism was running high
a new worls order was on my mind
but i couldn't believe it when i heard them say
they're blowing it away
and the fertile crescent is burning today
and baby my emotions are too
the cradle of humanity had led us all astray
and we're all in this together don't you know
'cause our species has nowhere to go
aggression rears it's uggly head
retaliation brings further dead
the two are linked by unseen threads
that wind back trough time
i don't agree with this outdated trend
nationalism is an evil friend
but hatred is 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
'case we've got nowhere else to go
