Humankind

I don't believe in fighting
’Cause we ain’t got that much time
Tomorrow's ground is a foundation laid down
By decisions that I make today
I don’t believe in war (No)
I've been taught to love my neighbor
I've been all around
And all I've found is we’re all the same
Yeah, the Chief of Police and the dealer the same
Neither the strongest can survive
Only he who can handle change
The secret to peace is to quiet the brain
Letting go with all our hearts
And letting love touch everything

If love is what you're working on
And peace is what you're dreaming
If you're combatting evil
You are my people

Chorus

Cm
We share the same room
Your moon is my moon
Fm
We all wane and wax
                    Gm
We all wanna take a nap in the afternoon
Cm
Some wanna be small spoon
Some wanna be big spoon
Fm
I like to rotate positions
    Gm
And flip it over for a different view
Cm
Some like it reggae
Some like it smooth jazz
Fm
Some like to slow things down
Gm
Some like to shake that ass
Cm
So many different expressions to take pleasure in
Fm
You are uniquely
    Gm
You just like everyone else

Love is the way
Love is the light
We light up today
And today is alright
Love is what we're working on
Peace is what we're dreaming
We are all equal
You are my people
