The Child Of Man


© 2018 Mark Cote

he painted the world with colors
and songs in different tongues
and the hope
they'd harmonize as one

hating each other's differences
but we all still bleed the same
spiraling end to nowhere
if nothing is going to change

(chorus) calling, across the land
                  just reach
                  out your hand
                  and help if you can
                  your fellow man

                  build him up, don't tear him down
                  like the fertile soil on the ground
                  and we will find out how it will be
                  the child of man

he gave us a mind to realize
that together we can work it out
when one mind
is so so filled with doubt

when negative thoughts wash over
like a cold September rain
someone holds the umbrella
'til the sun will shine again

(chorus)
