Only Human

Lyrics

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?
 Black dove undercover with another puzzle piece
 Are you a riddle to solve all along?
 Or am I overthinking thoughts? I'm human, afterall
 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
 Oh do we 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
 A sharpened 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
 Oh yes we are, only human
 If it's our only excuse
 Oh do we think we'll keep on being only human?
 Oh 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 hope to give myself a baby
 I will let my children have their way
 Because we're only human
 Oh yes we are, only human
 So far, so far
 ♪
 So far, so far
