Cry
Cry for the human race
Cherubs borne equal; loving, we look the other way
Cry for the human race
As we reach for mistrust, envy and greed
Cry for the human race
For we are one; brothers; sisters. One family
Cry for the human race
For trust is gone.
Cry for the human race
For twisted tongues; false wars; fallen heroes
Cry for the human race
Our humanity diminished; saviours forgotten; roots trodden
Cry for the human race
For the learned are lost; politicians thwarted
Cry for the human race
Centuries of apprenticeship; lessons unlearned
Cry for the human race
As Mother gives up her bounty; her tears run dry
Cry for the human race
As whales breach and cliffs stand in glory
Cry for the human race
For we cannot see our reflection
Cry for the Cherubs, for they are lost to mankind.
