Come and see the brilliant light
don't let your emotions mask your sight
it's the manifestation of a deeper fight

that affects me and you
my optimism was running high
a new world order was on my mind

but I couldn't belive it when I heard them say
they're blowing it away
and the fertile crescent is burning today

and baby my emotions are too
the cradle of humanity has led us all astray
and we're all in this tigether don't you know

'cause our species has nowhere else to go
aggression rears its ugly head
retaliation brings further dread

the two are linked by unseen threads
that wind back through time
I don't agree with the outdated trend

nationalism is an evil friend
but hatred is instilled by invisible lines
drawn in our minds

and the fertile crescent is haunting us today
and baby our instincts are too
the ghost of humanity is warning us this way

and I think we all should need it don't you know
'cause we've got nowhere else to go
