THE FATE OF HUMANITY
(Words & Music by Rivera/McAndrew/Chappel/Kosacek)
fate’s arriving to a new horizon that transcends the face of mother time
the joy of giving in the land of living gives a sense of fulness so sublime
we entreat you, read the signs that greet you
they are there for all the world to see
do take heed or your every need will surely die
heed the warning or your new day dawning will be filled so full with empty space
the empty void you surely must avoid
that empty place that has no place inviting us into
darkness beckons but it does not reckon on us holding keys to overcome its’ tainted poison
standing stronger for both rhyme and reason, we escape her treason as she withers on the vine of history
hope and glory they await the ones
the ones defending causes staying steadfast, staying strong, staying strong
THE FATE OF HUMANITY is hanging by a thread
the epistles of our history now in writing of blood red
THE FATE OF HUMANITY was never cast in stone
the end of our existence we’ll most likely face alone
don’t leave me lonely
i don’t want to be lonely
what happened to certainty
that mostly then prevailed
now failing as memories
has our sinking lifeboat sailed
we must do to others as we’d have them do to us
fathers, Mothers, sisters, brothers entwined in love in whom we trust
we must ensure THE FATE OF HUMANITY
we must secure THE FATE OF HUMANITY
man must heed the warning or there’s no new day dawning
we must not mock THE FATE OF HUMANITY
but must keep taking stock of THE FATE OF HUMANITY
man must heed the warning or there’s no new day dawning
we cannot escape THE FATE OF HUMANITY
nor underestimate THE FATE OF HUMANITY
man must heed the warning or there’s no new day dawning
