How can I let my eyes fall
And become blind to what I've seen
And pretend that it's okay to say

When the innocent suffer our greed
I can't silence the sound of their cries
When we kill for a sport, faith, oil or a fashion

When it hits me from all sides
And no excuse for not understanding
I am humankind, I can make changes
Well I watch as the waters they rise
And the wind blows cold at my door
Though I feel myself turning away
I can't stop looking anymore
It's too easy to shut out the noise
Not to read the words written in blood
And the way that we cover our sins
Is to sail a boat over the floods
There's nowhere to hide
When it hits me from all sides
And no excuse for not understanding
I am humankind, I can make changes
I can start listening
I can make changes
There's nowhere to hide
When it hits me from all sides
And no excuse for not understanding
I am humankind
There's nowhere to hide
When it hits me from all sides
No excuse for not understanding
I am humankind, I can make changes
I can start listening
I can make changes
I am humankind
I am humankind
