Pieces Of Mankind
As I'm walking down the street
I see a man rob a lady
he shoves her to the ground
turns and runs away
The lady doesn't get up
I see the blood spill from her head
The light fades from her eyes
And then she's dead
Why did this have to happen
Why did he need her bag
What if this lady had kids
Or a husband in the hospital
Why can't we all get along
Be one big family
Contribute to humanity
We're all just human
Just a piece of mankind
I'm in the school hallway
And that's when I see
A small kid on the floor
Surrounded by bullies
But what really gets to me
Are the people around
All the bystanders watching
They’re not doing a thing
Why aren’t they helping
Why do we just stand by
As injustice swirls around us
And sucks away our last breath
Why can't we all get along
Be one big family
Contribute to humanity
We're all just human
Just a piece of mankind
I turn on the TV
The startling new I see
Sends a shock through me
A committed suicide
The child was ten
The age where nothing is wrong
Not a worry in the world
But not for this kid
He was bullied into it
The kids called him names
Said he was “dirty” and “stunk”
While not knowing his case
His parents had lost their jobs
The bills were piling up
His water had been turned off
How could he be clean
How could he even be happy
With bullies building up his misfortunes
Throwing salt into his wounds
Wouldn’t give him hope for the future
Why can't we all get along
Be one big family
Contribute to humanity
We're all just human
Just a piece of mankind
The world we have now
Keeps bringing pain
Mankind must band together
So we can save humanity
Together it’s possible
People as humans
Mankind without the differences
Together it’s possible
Why can't we all get along
Be one big family
Contribute to humanity
We're all just human
Just a piece of mankind
Let’s save humanity.
