When The World Cries
Copyright 1969 Thumper Productions:
We are all alone When we go we're gone
Humanity's our only hope, mankinds our only song
You're part of everything there is
You're part what will be
When you go on the part not gone
Makes up humanity
We need the thug, the bold high flyer
The hero and the thief
The superman, the tv star,
The fool who gives us grieve
The mother dying, children saved
The leader and the knave
The astronaut, the banker
The hermit in his cave
The beggar in the back door trash,
or dying in the street
The business men in fancy suits,
who buy a Lear jet fleet
The heros that we long to be
It's still just us who got us here
We've come so very far
They can live up on the moutain
They can live down by the sea
They can live out in the desert
But they're only you and me
They can spend their day out in a field,
downtown or at the pool
If you can't see we're all the same
Then you're the bigger fool
We beg, we cry, we steal, we cheat,
build Disneyland for fun
Build trains & planes & ships & cars,
& rockets to the sun
We'll shoot each other, hurt ourselves
and poison mother earth
But save a child, a whale, a land
and give all that we're worth
We beat, we rob, we kill, we steal,
everything we can
We feed, we clothe, we heal, we mourn
and mother humankindd
The saviour & the murderer
the baker & the thief
It only takes the grace of god
It could be you or me
The crook who fools the old folks
The liar on tv
The business man who rapes the world
They are just you and me
The preacher man who loves your cash
Until the end of time
The peace corp kid who volunteers
>And teaches love not lying
The african, the mexican,
the german and the jew
No matter what you call them
They are just me and you
The wind that blows betweent the stars
Knows not of what it seeks
While mankind crawls then walks then runs
I am is what it speaks
