Humanity (Piano Demo Version)

by Jim Dalton

VIP membership exclusive

about

This VIP-exclusive track is a studio demo recorded at Jeremy Lawton's studio. This will not be the version that I record for my next record. It didn't really come out as I had envisioned it in my head. But I still like it as an alternate take and I hope you like it too.

lyrics

You’ve been right and you’ve been wrong
You’ve been weak and you’ve been strong
Through the ages you continue to amaze

You have seen and you’ve been blind
You've been cruel and you've been kind
Made it through the darkest and the brighter days

You are young and you are old
You are warm and you are cold
And at times you are afraid, at others bold

You have killed and you have loved
You’ve sought help from up above
Praying all the God’s you know will save your soul

Oh humanity
What have you in store for me?
I am you yet sometimes feel I don’t belong
I have put my faith in you
Just to have the things you do
Break my faithful heart in two
Oh humanity

You’ve been brave and you have feared
You have failed yet persevered
Some of you is cursed and some of you is blessed

You have made the grandest plans
And at times you’ve had the chance
To move forward but instead you have regressed

Oh humanity
What have you in store for me?
I am you yet sometimes feel I don’t belong
I have put my faith in you
Just to have the things you do
Break my faithful heart in two
Oh humanity

You’ve inspired song and prose
You have sunk and you have rose
Having reached the greatest heights and lowest lows

You've created, you’ve destroyed
Started wars you should avoid
What the future holds for you God only knows

Oh humanity
What have you in store for me?
I am you yet sometimes feel I don’t belong
I have put my faith in you
Just to have the things you do
Break my faithful heart in two
Oh humanity

Oh humanity
What have you in store for me?
I am you yet sometimes feel I don’t belong
I have put my faith in you
Just to have the things you do
Break my faithful heart in two
Oh humanity

I have put my faith in you
Just to have the things you do
Break my faithful heart in two
Oh humanity
