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
