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 I don't agree with the outdated trend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
