Analysis of The human race is falling
the human race is falling
oh it is falling
too much lies
too much atrocities
too much propaganda
too much ignorant
why are you ignorant of the truth
the human race is falling
oh it is falling
there is no equity and justice
no free and fairness
there is no kindness
we need transparency
crying humanity
oh it is falling
too much suffering
instead of happiness
too much pain
it wickedness
instead of joy
it is shame
why not glory
feel sorry
we destroy one another
instead of helping each other
whiles i live
I saw oppression
I saw affliction
and i saw tyranny
too much hypocrisy
where is your love
oh it is falling
I saw men trying to be Superior
and powerful
but there was no savior
no one was merciful
the human race is falling
oh it is falling
