lyrics

I took a few deep breaths, took my mind off the mess
Into the outer reaches of the cosmos I leapt
Where questions were not asked, because no one there is tasked
With beings with brains evolving
They keep needing to know how and why
If my quest has found a light to shine

There was a calm in the universe
As the experience fell exclusively to the human experiments
Affecting no one and nothing in the outer worlds
Yet essential in evolving the universal goals

I felt the calm, it was strengthening
I knew my fate and my destiny
I felt the resolve to accomplish my mission
To understand the cause of those irrational emotions

Here I see the difference, but fail to see how
One can choose to be one or the other
Is it math, or science, father or mother

What beastie are you and what are you made of
Controlled from within and unable to feel love
Does nature, genetics, society
Universal guidance or a combo of these
Attributes and deflections
Unguided sad reflections
Cause one human to be kind and fair
And another obsessed with power will just not care

The beastie Empathy will shake your core
Makes you feel deeply what you never felt before
If you have the conscience to lovehelp one another
Empathy is mother nature’s lover

The beastie Fear can shake your core
Makes you feel deeply what you never felt before
Creates no conscience to help one another
Fear is not mother nature’s lover

The beastie Greed can shake your core
Makes you feel deeply what you never felt before
Destroys the conscience to help another
Greed is definitely not nature’s lover

The beastie Hate can shake your core
Makes you feel deeply what you never felt before
Manipulates the conscience to hell with one another
Hate cannot be mother nature’s lover

The beastie Hope will shake your core
Makes you feel deeply what you never felt before
Enlarges your conscience to help one another
Hope is truly mother nature’s lover

Empathy
You see it in the floods and in the fires
You see it in the hurricanes of human desire

Empathy
You feel it in the panic to your cries
Your actions show your feelings as your spirit starts to rise

Empathy
Drives you like an engine deep inside
To do what’s right no matter there’s no prize

Empathy
Empathy
Starts to rise
