Human Being Song

[Verse 1] It's hard to be a human being Just seeking, needing, feeling pain From things you can't articulate And dodging blame And measuring And hiding shame It's hard [Verse 2] It's hard to open up your heart And face the fact that you could fail And show the world what you don't know And let your long-held high ground go So you get cold And act apart I get it, though It's hard [Bridge] A human being was shaped by God It's just an ape with changes made It crowds the Earth, it takes and takes Just like a plague But still there's good Or even great Can we escape? Is it too late? [Verse 3] And I've got nothing smart to say To wrap it up, to come to close I hardly see beyond my nose And I've got no idea of What you've been through Or had to do Or rose above But brother, I believe in love
