Come and see the brilliant light   Don't let your emotions mask your sight   It's the manifestation of a deeper fight   That affects me and you      My optimism was running high   A new world order was on my mind   But I couldn't believe it when I heard them say   They're blowing it away      The fertile crescent is burning today   And baby my emotions are too   The cradle of humanity has led us all astray   And we're all in this together don't you know   'Cause our species has nowhere else to go      Aggression rears it's ugly head   Retaliation brings further dread   The two are linked by unseen threads   That wind back through time      I don't agree with this outdated trend   Nationalism is an evil friend   But hatred is instilled by invisible lines   Drawn in our minds      The fertile crescent is haunting us today   And baby our instincts are too   The ghost of humanity is warning us this way   And I think that we all should heed it don't you know   'Cause we've got nowhere else to go      The fertile crescent is haunting us today   And baby our instincts are too   The ghost of humanity is warning us this way   And I think that we all should heed it don't you know   'Cause we've got nowhere else to go
