Lyrics

[00:43.000] I'm sorry,but i don't want to be an emperor.That's not my business.
[00:50.000] I dont't want to rule or conquer anyone.
[00:52.000] I should like to help everyone if possible- Jew,Gentile-black man-white.
[00:57.000] We all want to help one another.Human beings are like that.
[01:01.000] We want to live by each other's happiness,not by each other's misery.
[01:04.000] We dont't want to hate and despise one another.
[01:07.000] In this world there is room for everyone,and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
[01:12.000] The way of life can be free and beautiful,but we have lost the way.
[01:17.000] Greed has poisoned men's souls,has barricaded the world with hate,has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
[01:25.000] We have developed speed,but we have shut ourselves in.
[01:29.000] Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
[01:32.000] Our knowledge has made us cynical,our cleverness hard and unkind.
[01:36.000] We think too much and feel too little.
[01:39.000] More than machinery we need humanity.
[01:41.000] More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.
[01:45.000] Without these qualities,life will be violent and all will be lost.
[01:49.000] The airplane and the radio has brought us closer together.
[01:53.000] The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men.
[01:55.000] Cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all.
[01:59.000] Even now my voive is reaching millions throughout the world,
[02:02.000] millions of despairing men,women and little children,
[02:05.000] victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
[02:10.500] To those who can hear me , I say "Do not deapair".
[02:14.000] The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed.
[02:18.000] The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
[02:21.000] The hate of men will pass.
[02:23.000] And dictators die and the power they took from the people,will return to the people.
[02:28.000] And so long as men dieliverty will never perish.
[02:46.000] Soldiers!dont't give yourselves to brutes
[02:48.000] men who despise you and enslave you - who regiment your lives.
[02:52.000] Tell you what to do,what to think and what to feel.
[02:54.000] Who drill you.diet you,treat you as cattle,use you as cannon fodder.
[02:59.000] Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men.
[03:01.000] Machine men,with machine minds and machine hearts.
[03:05.000] You are not machines.You are not cattle.You are men.
[03:09.000] You have the love of humanity in your hearts.
[03:11.000] You don't hate - only the unloved hate.Only the unloved and the unnatural.
[03:16.000] Soldiers!don't fight for slavery,fight for liberty.
[03:19.000] In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written
[03:20.000] "The kingdom of God is within man"
[03:23.000] Not one man,nor a group of men - but in all men - in you.
[03:27.000] You the people have the power,the power to create machines,the power to create happiness.
[03:31.000] You the people have the power to make life free and beautiful
[03:35.000] To make this life a wonderful adventure.
[03:38.000] Then in the name of democracy let's use that power - let us all unite.
[03:43.000] Let us fight for a new world - a decent world
[03:46.000] that will give men a chance to work,that will give you the future and old age and security.
[03:51.000] By the promise of these things,brutes have risen to power,but they lie.
[03:55.000] They don not fulfil their promise,they never will.
[03:58.000] Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people.
[04:02.000] Now let us fight to fulfil that promise.Let us fight to free the world
[04:07.000] To do away with national barriers,do away with greed,with hate and intolerance.
[04:13.000] Let us fight for a world of reason,a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.
[04:21.000] Soldiers! in the name of democracy,let us all unite!
[06:23.000] Hannah,can you hear me?Wherever you are,look up,Hannah.
[06:32.000] The clouds are lifting.The sun is breaking through.
[06:37.000] .We are coming out of the darkness into the light.
[06:40.000] We are coming into a new world,a kindlier world.
[06:45.000] where men will rise above their hate,their greed and burtality.
[06:51.000] Look up,Hannah.The soul of man has been given wings,and at last he is beginning to fly.
[06:59.000] He is flying into the rainbow - into the light of hope,into the furure
[07:05.000] the glorious future that belongs to you,to me and to all of us.
[07:11.000] Look up,Hannah.Look up.
