WAITING FOR DAWN

A few million years ago, there were creatures with no ego

In this land they had to fight, to find food or to survive

And then you came on two feet, a little primate and conceit

Just before you became a fool, with your brain as a single tool

With your first steps in the savannah, you were turning into man

And then you strove to plough land, you tamed the lion and the innocents

You invented guns and money, to get things night and day

You took possession of the planet, and now you’re surfing on the net

A few hundred years from now, you’ll reach the stars in one hour

This place will be just a subsidiary, an old address in your diary

And in a moment of Eternity, there’ll be room for Humanity

Among the fair, the time will come, we’ll stand in peace waiting for dawn.
