Human

So tell me again What has it ever meant to be human If the cruelty we make Does not meet a match in our kindness The kingdoms we play for Prevail by force or by grace And we carry the truth In every line on our face Never a fight was a lie Peace is not nature A war every life Brutal acceptance more noble the cause Defiant, we even the scores I feel the vision of years Running back more than our minds can And those who can't speak Have no name and are now so long gone But there's still a warmth Passed along in the torch of our children In the battles we fight In the words that we write In a song Never a fight was a lie Peace is not nature A war every life Brutal acceptance more noble the cause Defiant, we even the scores Never a fight was a lie Peace is not nature A war every life Brutal acceptance more noble the cause Defiant, we even the scores So tell me again What has it ever meant to be human If the cruelty we make Does not meet a match in our kindness The kingdoms we play for Prevail by force or by grace And we carry the truth In every line on our face
