The Divide
They'll tell you what you want to hear
Keep you wrapped in a world of fear
But as your mind drifts and thinks on its own
The tighter they constrict your zone
So find something you enjoy
Let it fill your cup
But please don't take it for granted
It's your only escape
I'm sorry
But I don't want to be a emperor
That's not my business
I don't want to rule or concur anyone
I should like to help everyone if possible
Jew, gentile, black man, white
We all want to help one another
Human beings are like that
We want to live by each other's happiness
Not by each other's misery
We don't want to hate and despise one another
This world has room for everyone
And the good earth is rich
And can provide for everyone
A way of life can be free and beautiful
But we have lost the way
Greed has poisoned mens souls
It has barricaded the world with hate
It has goose stepped us into misery and bloodshed
We have developed speed but
We have shut ourselves in
Machinery that gives us abundance
Has left us in want
Our knowledge has made us cynical
Our cleverness hard and unkind
We think too much and
Feel too little
More than machinery
We need humanity
More than cleverness 
We need kindness and gentleness
Without these qualities life will be violent
And all will be lost.
Keep you wrapped in a world of fear
But as your mind drifts and thinks on its own
The tighter they constrict your zone
So find something you enjoy
Let it fill your cup
But please don't take it for granted
It's your only escape
I'm sorry
But I don't want to be a emperor
That's not my business
I don't want to rule or concur anyone
I should like to help everyone if possible
Jew, gentile, black man, white
We all want to help one another
Human beings are like that
We want to live by each other's happiness
Not by each other's misery
We don't want to hate and despise one another
This world has room for everyone
And the good earth is rich
And can provide for everyone
A way of life can be free and beautiful

More than cleverness 
We need kindness and gentleness
Without these qualities life will be violent
And all will be lost.
