Lyrics for Song: Only Human
Lyrics for Album: Beautiful Mess - Live On Earth [2009]
A squirrel in the tree is he watching me
Does he give a damn
Does he care who I am
I'm just a man, is that all I am
Are my manners misinterpreted words or only human
I'm human
Murderous crow, hey what you know
What you reading about, what you hold in your toes
Is that a twig, are you a dove of peace
A black dove undercover, with another puzzle piece
Are you a riddle to solve all along?
Or am I over thinking thoughts of human after all
Only human
Made of flesh, made of sand, made of human
The planet's talking about a revolution
The natural laws ain't got no constitution
They've got a right to live their own life
But we keep paving over paradise
'Cause we're only human
Oh yes we are, only human
If it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep on being only human
Oh, yes we are
Only human
So far, so far
Up in the major's tree, the one he planted back when he was just a boy
Back in 1923
Thirty meters and a foot, take a look, take a climb
What you'll find is the product of a seed
The seed is sown, all alone
It grows above, with a heart of love
Sharp and shelter of the animals of land and cold weather breathing
We're all breathing
The planet's talking about a revolution
The natural laws ain't got no constitution
They've got a right to live their own life
But we keep paving over paradise
'Cause we're only human
Yes we are, only human
If it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep on being only human
Yes we are, only human, so far, so far
And this place, it will outlive me
Before I get to heaven I'll climb that tree
And I will have to give my thanks
For giving me the branch to swing on
If I ever fall in love
I'll have to give myself a baby
I will let my children have their way
'Cause we're only human, yes we are
Only human, so far, so far
So far, so far
