Sing Me a Humanist Lullaby, Tonight...

Won't you sing me a humanist lullaby tonight?
Won't you sing me a humanist lullaby tonight?

People killing people, bankers hoarding gold;
Research papers lying, Dawkins growing old.
I really need you to sing me one of those humanist lullabies, tonight.

I need to believe- that we're inherently good
That education- will make us do as we should
I want to trust... in the goodness of humanity, tonight.


Won't you sing me a humanist lullaby tonight?
Won't you sing me a humanist lullaby tonight?

I'm getting kinda lonely, I just need to know;
That I'm made of stardust, feel its little glow.
I've got to know that my life has some kind of meaning, tonight.

Tonight panspermia- it isn't quite enough
The Brights' rhetoric- just isn't bright enough
Can't you convince me... that peer review will save us? ...tonight.


Won't you sing me a humanist lullaby tonight?
Won't you sing me a humanist lullaby tonight?

The world is getting hotter, seas are gonna rise;
Winter isn't coming, don't believe your eyes.
I gotta hope in the future one world scientific government, tonight.

Today I had a moment- I almost prayed a prayer
To my mama's God- she said He's always there
You'd better sing to me... before my mind goes funny places, tonight.
