What is the theme of the song?
The theme is that individual people can take action to benefit the whole of humankind, but it requires taking risks and the dedication of one's life to the cause.
Write a paragraph to persuade as to what the theme of the song is.
The lyrics that support the first half of the theme are "two scientists were racing/for the good of all mankind/both of them side by side/so determined/locked in heated battle/for the cure that is their prize". The two scientists are racing to find the cure for a disease, "for the good of all mankind". These two individuals were not much different from anyone else, as evidenced by the lines "they're just humans/with wives and children", but they still had the ability to change the world. At the same time, their endeavors are accompanied by great risks. This is evidenced by the lines, "but it's so dangerous" and "forging for the future/but to sacrifice their lives/both of them side by side". Their "forging for the future" is what's creating danger for the both of them. The second half of the theme is also shown through the lyrics "if it kills them/they're just humans/with wives and children". These lines illustrate that the two are at risk of losing even their wives and children.
