Hope - Kingdom Of Giants
I'm sorry
But I don't want to be an emperor
That's not my business
I don't want 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 others happiness
Not by each others misery
We don't want to hate and despise one another
In this world there is room for everyone
Good earth is rich
And can provide for everyone
The way of life
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 too 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 lost lost lost
We lay
Under the starlight the starlight
Trying to find a way home
Trying to find a way
We live we live
We strive we strive
To make our way through
This life between us and our hearts
And I won't be surprised
When looking to the sky
If you ever came back for me
I will be here waiting
And if it isn't true
And if these feelings grew
I will be here waiting
Whatever the future brings
The airplane and the radio have 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
Little children
Victims of a system that makes men torture
And imprison innocent people
To those who can hear me I say
Do not despair
The misery that is now upon us 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
