The Dears – Ballad Of Humankindness lyrics

well i thought that
we all cared about peace
and i thought that
we'd all cry about love and loss
and i thought that
we were somehow holding on
but i'm just standing here

no one should have to
live all of their life on their own
no one should have to
live all of their life on the

every time i think about
what i can do
it just slips away
and every time i think that
we can make things work
well it just slips away
and i turn on the news
and there's always some dude
who's relentlessly bringing me down
telling me how
there are too many
dark people out there
who'll never be found
well

no one should have to
live all of their life on their own
no one should have to
live all of their life on their own
no one should have to
live that sort of life and i
think it's time that
we all learned forgiveness

and i can't believe the
vast amounts of people
living on the streets
and i can't believe that
i was almost one of them
and i almost died
and i can't believe that
i haven't lifted a hand
and i'm just standing here
well i'm gonna change
i'm gonna change
i'm gonna change
i'm gonna change
i'm gonna change
i'm gonna change
i'm gonna change
i'm gonna change
i'm gonna change

no one should have to
live all of their life on their own
no one should have to
live all of their life on their own
no one should have to
live all of their life on their own
no one should have to
live all of their life on their own
