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
Is the only thing that will move us forward
Cooperation
Is the only thing holding us back
We only seem to get it right
When facing a mutual foe
Lasting only as long as they do
Children do it naturally
What happens to us all
Preacher battles prophet
Left battles right
Part battles part
Rise above the beastly nature
Only then can we receive the entire message
Rise above the beastly nature
Only then can we find the way
Rise above the beastly nature
Only then can we know
The whole
