The Cradle Of Human Kind
The sum of all my fears like dread
From demons yet to come
All the things I should've mentioned
Wave goodbye and will see you soon
It's the words I've never written
That say more about myself
Where empty is the promise
Lies a pocket full of doubt
Show me a road I've yet to take
Leave a smile across my face
'Til the laughter sheds the darkness far behind
For I still belong in the cradle of humankind
Though my time may be less traveled
Than those that came before
We're all exiles here in madness
Kicking down each other's door
Unforgiven is the lesson
We pour upon ourselves
When a helping hand is needed
A slap in the face is what we get
But I will fight for this right
And each moment of its life
'Til I've witnessed all the differences yet to heal
Show me a road I've yet to take
Leave a smile across my face
'Til the laughter sheds the darkness far behind
For I still belong in the cradle of humankind
Sometimes drink 'til I am empty
Grab another from the shelf
Though I'm stuck in conversation
It's with myself and no one else
Never listen to much reason
'Til I hear it's the last call
When I noticed that my ghost
Is still dancing on his own
Show me the road I've yet to take
Leave a smile across my face
'Til the laughter sheds the darkness far behind
For I still belong in the cradle of humankind
Wherever you go, wherever you go
Wherever you go, ha, wherever you go
There'll always be a roof and a dream above our heads
As long as I'm breathing, then forever I'm dead
But I will fight for this right
And each moment of its life
'Til I witness all the differences yet to heal
Show me a road we've yet to take
Leave a smile across our face
'Til the laughter sheds the darkness far behind
We still belong in the cradle of humankind
