Humanity's Wins (feat. Jess Harnell, Rob Paulsen, Tress MacNeille, Jon Bailey, Clyde Lawrence & Jordan Cohen)

Pyramids, aqueducts, civilization
Democracy, MLK, desegregation
Einstein, Alhazen, their famous equations
No smallpox nor 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 Collider
Confucius, the Buddha and Abraham Lincoln
Plato and Sun Tzu, they got people thinkin'
Austen and Shelley
Those three Bronte 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
And though you've got your doubts
Maybe just give them a chance at complying
Before you go and wipe them all out!

Renewable energy, green power stations!
Endangered species and deforestation!
The internet, smart phones,
The United Nations!
Major oil spills, coral reef devastation!
The 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 them
One more chaaaance!!
