lyrics

LULLABY

Just a lullaby for humanity
Please, forgive us all
We were to blind to see
We looked into our pockets not our heart
Thought of an ending not a new start

Just a lullaby for humanity
Please, forgive us all
We were to blind to see
Left you the ruins of our creation
Put children's futures behind a nation

We tried to bend natures will
Forgetting that we would only kill
Those who are closest to our heart
Those we hoped would never part

We forgot this planet was not ours to take
We were just here to keep a wake
To guard for generations to come
Of which we feared there would be none

Just a lullaby for humanity
Please, forgive us all
We were to blind to see
Forgot all about our children need
And we did it all just for greed

We tried to bend natures will
Forgetting that we would only kill
Those who are closest to our heart
Those we hoped would never part

We forgot this planet was not ours to take
We were just here to keep a wake
To guard for generations to come
Of which we feared there would be none

Just a lullaby for humanity
Just a little song
For you...
From me
