Rise above the beastly nature
Be the human that you are
The struggle of endless competition
Ends in ultimate ruin
Resources depleted
Fertile ground left sterile
Co-operation

Cooperation
Is the only thing holding us back
We only seem to get it right
When facing a mutual foe

Preacher battles prophet
Left battles right

Rise above the beastly nature

Rise above the beastly nature
Only then can we find the way
Rise above the beastly nature
Only then can we know
The whole
