Let's Be Human

Let’s be human
Let’s be men and women
Let’s be humane
Let’s be absolutely sane
Let’s not be black
Let’s not be white
Let’s be just, fair and right
Let’s go back
Let’s return to Alkebulan
So all can head to Heaven
Let’s go back to the Garden of Eden
Yes, to the mother of men and women
Let’s stop being stupid, ignorant and greedy
Let’s stop playing the evil comedy
Weak people talk about war
Strong people talk about unity
Let’s go deep. Let’s go far
Far away from nonsense and disparity
Color exists simply for identity
That’s it. The sky is not the limit
Let’s go beyond, beyond the furthest comet
Nobody really knows where the truth lies
Open our ears wide and our eyes
Listen, listen
Please listen
Let’s be human
Let’s be men and women
Let’s be humane
Let’s be absolutely sane.
