Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Pyramids, aqueducts, civilization
Democracy, MLK, desegregation
Einstein, Alhazen, their famous equations
No smallpox not polio, thanks, vaccinations
Nightingale, Curie, the founding of nations
Van Gogh
Frida Kahlo
And us animations
Tchaikovsky and Mozart played on violins
To name but a few of humanity’s wins
They aren’t perfect, they’re still learning
So as you judge their worth
We only ask you try to be discerning
Before you smite them from the face of the Earth
Petra, the Taj, and the Great Wall of China
The Three Gorges Dam, the Large Hadron Collidеr
Confucius, the Buddha, and Abraham Lincoln
Plato and Sun Tzu, they got peoplе thinking
Austen and Shelley, those three Brontë sisters
Kurosawa, Casablanca
And don’t forget Twister!
Elvis and Freddie
Adele when she sings
These are a few of humanity’s wins
They aren’t perfect, but they’re trying
I know you’ve got your doubts
Maybe just give them a chance at complying
Before you go and wipe them all out!
Uh-oh! They’ve taken Ralph into the de-atomizer
They start on the brain first, so we do not have much time!
Renewable energy, green power stations
Endangered species and deforestation
The internet, smartphones, the United Nations
Major oil spills, coral reef devastation
Astronauts watching the Earth as it spins
Those don’t excuse all humanity’s sins
They aren’t perfect, but they’re improving
It takes time to advance
But just look at the direction that they’re moving
And maybe give ‘em one more chance!
