I heard it said,
The flesh is weak,
And humans have,
An evil streak.

I heard it said,
That woman is wrong,
Never in this life,
Will she be strong.

I heard it said,
That men don't care,
Mostly they seem,
To go no where.

I heard it said,
But I didn't listen,
Coz I figured out,
Just what we've been missin’

The heart of humanity,
Was torn clear out,
But it kept on beating,
And it gave a shout.

I heard it said,
I love you all,
May the Human,
Never fall.
