One experience human beings share
We new born are infants, helpless, lost
We are each dependent on love’s care
If no-one helps, we howl in our despair
Society will later bear the cost
One experience human beings share.
We know the world is unjust and unfair
But we as humans hope our love will last
We are all dependent on its care
If we are religious, we use prayer
Admit no power as by the sea we’re tossed
One experience human beings share.
Birth and death and loss of love we bear
If we loved the ones we lost
Who were all dependent on love’s care
Of your grandeur do not boast
A sin against the Holy Ghost
This fine experience humans share
We are all dependent on love’s fare
