Faith in Humanity

This is an old song of mine...seems appropriate to spotlight it again...the "Je Suis Charlie...un rock star" remix can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/sciencebase/faith-in-humanity-cartoon-mix Faith in Humanity Yes, we all have our crosses to bear, well-worn paths to follow Some have pillars to push against, so many lies, so much sorrow Many blame it all on destiny, and leave their fate to glories But, there are those of us with brows to beat Who despair at those mystical stories My faith in humanity, is the only Word I need No veiled wisdom of ancient times No truths in a mythical creed And that faith in humanity, is what lets us all belong No higher mind to guide us now Without it we are just as strong We all know those ancient stories That tell us what's wrong and right They bring fear to both meek and mindful Their demons, just mirrors so bright But bitterness and fear and anger bring us down so we have to fight I can't bear that it's fear we cling to When our instincts just show us the light My faith in humanity, is the only Word I need No veiled wisdom of ancient times No truths in a mythical creed And that faith in humanity, is what helped us, all along No higher mind to doom us now Without it we are just as strong Karma may be calming For Heaven's sake it brings relief But better the devil you don't know Than a world of make believe Just faith in humanity, is the only Word, you know No secret knowledge from times gone by No truths in a mystical show And your faith in humanity, is what means we can get along No higher mind to bring us down Without it we'd all be strong Words & Music by David Bradley
