Ballad of Humankindness

Well I thought that we all cared
About peace
And I thought that we'd all cry
About love and loss
And I thought that we were somehow holding on
But I'm just standing here
No one should have to live all of their life on their own

Every time I think about what I can do
It just slips away
And every time i think that we can make things work well it
Just slips away
I turn on the news and there's always some dude who's relentlessly bringing me down
Telling me how there are too many dark people out there who'll never be found
No one should have to live all of their life on the run

And I can't believe the vast amounts of people living on the streets
And I can't believe that I was almost one of them and I almost died
And I can't believe I haven't lent a hand
That I'm just standing here
Well I'm gonna change I'm gonna change
I'm gonna change I'm gonna change
I'm gonna change I'm gonna change
I'm gonna change I'm gonna change
I'm gonna change

No one should have to life all of their life on their own
No one should have to live all of their life alone
