Return to Our Caves

When a bee gathers nectar just to take it to the hive
It’s unaware it pollinates the land and keeps us all alive
If you steer clear of the hive mind, with hoarding and demanding
I don’t think that in the end you want to be the last man standing
Will you choose to love your neighbor,
Or succumb to your own wishes?
Is it survival of the fittest?
Will you share your bread and fishes?
We can bring such beauty
When the prospects are so dire
When we return to our caves
And rediscover fire
You shrug it off to better homes awaiting in the sky
Does your God want to you pass it to some unsuspecting guy?
And the poor and the foreign, those with different points of view
Do you find their deaths convenient when they don’t resemble you?
Will you choose to love your neighbor,
Or succumb to your own wishes?
Is it survival of the fittest?
Will you share your bread and fishes?
We can bring such beauty
When the prospects are so dire
When we return to our caves
And rediscover fire
And it’s not fair, of course it’s not fair
Like a meteor that strikes the earth, it’s laid our empires bare
And if were some big mistake, the latest phobic fashion
I would still choose to err on the side of compassion
I’m not telling you to stay away because you’re circumspect
Quite the opposite, please take it as a gesture of respect
We can stop this chain reaction from a distance, you and I
For though I want to see you gone, I don’t want to see you die
Will you choose to love your neighbor,
Or succumb to your own wishes?
Is it survival of the fittest?
Will you share your bread and fishes?
We can bring such beauty
When the prospects are so dire
When we return to our caves
And rediscover fire
