Humanity first and politics last it was a great Mother who said this
In grief we are all brothers and sisters the clouds overhead said this
And the differences between us those differences are really wanting to befriend us
Of all who live who intend for the soul that our humanity will never desert us
Even if what we see so many wounded lives lying in the street
Even if walking with us the liberation of evil is smiling at us
Always it will be humanity first our humanity a location every human being can trust
Humanity first who was it reported this who was it kneeling there
It was a face without a name it was compassion without asking for it
It was healing identified with God it was God who said this
