LYRICS:
Love is the way / Love is the light / We light up today / & today is alright
Love is the way / Love will take us higher / We are aligned / & we are united
We are united by our differences / Our different kinds of interests
Our different intelligences / Artificial or natural mystic
Each one a chrysalis for perfect imperfections
Yeah, we are limitless ‘cause spirit lives inside us
Mother nature did us a favor / Gave each one of us a different flavor
Different visions, different faces / Different incarnations of crazy
Some want to make some noise / Some want to hear the silence
Some want to drive the bus from town to town & give out high fives to
Teachers & bakers & movie ticket takers / To midwives & doctors & magic baby makers
‘Cause if love is what you’re working on & peace is what you’re dreaming
If you’re fighting for freedom, you are my people
You’re my kind (my kind) / You’re my kind (my kind) / You’re my kind (my kind)
Humankind
You’re my kind (my kind) / You’re my kind (my kind) / You’re my kind (my kind)
Humankind
I don’t believe in fighting ‘cause we ain’t got that much time
Tomorrow’s ground is a foundation laid down by decisions that I make today
I don’t believe in war (no) / I’ve been taught to love my neighbor
I’ve been all around & all I’ve found is we’re all the same
Yeah, the Chief of Police & the dealer the same
Neither the strongest can survive / Only he who can handle change
The secret to peace is to quiet the brain
Letting go with all our hearts & letting love touch everything
If love is what you’re working on & peace is what you’re dreaming
If you’re combating evil / You are my people
You’re my kind (my kind) / You’re my kind (my kind) / You’re my kind (my kind)
Humankind
You’re my kind (my kind) / You’re my kind (my kind) / You’re my kind (my kind)
Humankind
Yes we are. (ooh) Humankind.
We share the same room / Your moon is my moon
We all wane & wax / We all wanna take a nap in the afternoon
Some wanna be small spoon / Some wanna be big spoon
I like to rotate positions & flip it over for a different view
Some like it reggae / Some like it smooth jazz
Some like to slow things down / Some like to shake that ass
So many different expressions to take pleasure in
You are uniquely you just like everyone else
Love is the way / Love is the light / We light up today / & today is alright
Love is what we’re working on / Peace is what we’re dreaming
We are all equal / You are my people
You’re my kind (my kind) / You’re my kind (my kind) / You’re my kind (my kind)
Humankind
You’re my kind (my kind) / You’re my kind (my kind) / You’re my kind (my kind)
Humankind
(ooh) Humankind (humankind)
(ooh) Humankind (humankind)
(ooh) You & I (humankind)
(ooh) Humankind.
