Next For Mankind

Whats next for our species, for mankind?
Has it all been drawn up and designed?
The first thing you do is look in our past. 
Then you'll see if were going to last.

To be conquered, a society must crumble from the inside, 
before anyone can conquer it from the outside. 
Technology was supposed to be our savior, 
but it can't save us from our own behavior.

We've tried to kill each other off from the beginning, 
now we have the power to do it, to stop earth from spinning.
The question is, can we put aside our differences and become one?
We can, but we as long as there are humans, this won't be done.  

Today we have the capacity to be the greatest generation in history.
We also have the ability to be the last generation this planet will ever see.  
It is today's society that will choose our fate.
Why not choose peace, before its too late.
