Humanity
I.T.S.I Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't you see she's falling down
Why can't you just help her out
Watch your fellow man express all of their doubt
You can't run from all your pain
Catching up to you as you try to refrain
Sometimes things aren't the way they seem
Remember when we used to sit around
Thinking of the times we had

Then you tell me that you can't be around
It sometimes makes sad
Tell me when will you begin to see
There's more to this life than what we all believe
Please tell me where's your humanity
Can't you see the world is falling down
As we start to lose our minds
Well time starts to turn as we fail our plan
Sometimes you're the hero of life
A hero doesn't have to die
A hero deserves the most
So why do we pretend there's nothing to boast
Remember when we used to sit around
Thinking of the times we had
Then you tell me that you can't be around
It sometimes makes me sad
Tell me when will you begin to see

There's more to this life than what we all believe
Please tell me where's you humanity
