Human Kind

By

My momma once told me

Only two things matter

How you treat yourself

And how you treat others

Throw stones at a glass house

Watch the whole thing shatter

We’re all broken pieces

Trying to hold it together

We’re divided by war

We’re divided by pride

Carve up the whole damn world

‘Cause we’re divided by tribes

There’s ties in the truth

I see me in your eyes

A mystery between us

We don’t recognize

What would it take to remind us

We can kill it all with kindness

Lord hear me cry

If we could be human kind

Had an old friend call me

Hadn’t seen in years

She fought overseas

Fighting back the tears, she said

“There’s two things I’ve learned

Only one is true

You can change the world

Or it changes you,” ’cause

We’re divided by war

We’re divided by pride

Carve up the whole damn world

‘Cause we’re divided by tribes

There’s ties in the truth

I see me in your eyes

A mystery between us

We don’t recognize

What would it take to remind us

We can kill it all with kindness

Lord hear me cry

If we could be human kind

My papa once told me

Don’t hold your anger

It’s all skin deep

When they point their fingers

We’re all just mirrors

And what they don’t see

Says more about them

Than who you can be, yeah

We’re divided by war (we’re divided by war)

We’re divided by pride (pride)

Carve up the whole damn world (oh-oh)

‘Cause we’re divided by tribes (we’re divided by tribes)

There’s ties in the truth (I know)

I see me in your eyes (look in my eyes)

A mystery between us (between us, between us)

We don’t recognize, ’cause

War, and we’re divided by war (Oh, Lord)

Pride, and we’re divided by pride

War, and we’re divided by war (Shame on the whole damn world)

Tribes, and we’re divided by tribes (‘Cause we’re divided by tribes)

War, and we’re divided by war (Divided by tribes)

Pride, and we’re divided by pride (Ah-ah-ah)

War, and we’re divided by war (I see you, I see you)

Tribes, and we’re divided by tribes (Between us, between us, oh)

What would it take to remind us

We can kill it all with kindness

Lord hear me cry

If we could be human kind
