HUMAN

There are people in the world,
Like torches in the night.
They light a path of hope
And stand for what is right.

They face adversity,
While others would despair.
They challenge us to be
What others never dared.

They are movers, believers, and healers.
They are lovers, they're fighters, and dreamers,
And they are human, so very human,
And it's human we're meant to be.

There are people in our world,
With passion in their eyes,
And wisdom on their lips,
And power in their lives.

They walk the journey, too.
The torrents have been crossed.

With mountains still to climb;
Their dream is never lost.

They are movers, believers, and healers.
They are lovers, they're fighters, and dreamers,
And they are human, so very human,
And it's human we're meant to be.

It's not for glory or power or gain;

It's not for that ego, the money or fame.

It's the present; it's for the future,
And for us to fan the flame.
