Lyrics
The Marriage of Humanity
Words and Music by Gary Wollman
The questions lie unanswered
In our quest to know
We've researched all the theories
Still the wisdom seldom shows
We've solved so very little
Of the real problems though
Oh tell me why can't we be friends
Instead of being foes?
The questions cut deep into our belief
Of what's wrong or right
The badge we wear so dear
Hides our fear and fright
From far east to near right
Or where the west meets southeast
The direction we've gone has led
Everywhere but peace
People are overdue to make a new transition
Ride the shifting winds
It's time to take a new position
Let's make it all for one
Start with man and wife to be
Sing a wedding song for the marriage of humanity
Doesn't matter if you seem to be winning or losing the fight
We are one of the same
We must keep that in sight
From far east to near right
Or where the west meets southeast
The direction that we've gone has led us
Everywhere but peace
We can do the dance together
Or go down struggling to our knees
Rebuild the old foundation
Create a new found legacy
The signpost clearly points to a common destiny
As we walk hand in hand together
In the marriage of humanity
