Verse I:
C Gsharp C Come and see the brilliant lights Don't let your emotions mask your sight It's a manifestation of a deeper fight Bflat G That effects me and you
C Gsharp C My optimism was running high A new world order was on my mind But I couldn't believe it when I heard them say Bflat G They're throwing it away . . . (highG)
Chorus I:
Eflat Bflat c Bflat C And the fertile crescent is burning today
Eflat Bflat F highG And baby my emotions are too
Eflat Bflat C Bflat C The cradle of humanity has led us all astray
Gsharp Bflat G And we're all in this together don't you know
Gharp Bflat Cause our species has nowhere else to go.
Verse II: 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 this out-dated trend, nationalism's but an evil friend Hatred's instilled by invisible lines drawn in our minds
Chorus II: 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 heed it don't you know, Cause we don't know where else to go.
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 heed it don't you know Cause we've got nowhere else to go.
