Believe in Humanity

If you read the papers you may see
History in the making
You'll read what they say life is all about
They say it's there for the takingYea, you should really check it out
If you want to know what's shaking
But don't tell me 'bout the things you've heard
Maybe I'm wrong but I want to believe in humanityI know it's often true, sad to say
We have been unkind to one another
Tell me how many times has the golden rule
Been applied by man to his brotherWell I believe if I really looked at what's going on
I would lose faith I never could recover
So don't tell me 'bout the things you've heard
Maybe I'm wrong but I want to believe in humanity
