To Be Human - DVOE V POLI

Under rich, relentless skies I've been setting highs I felt you walk right through me You're the thing that I invoke My all persistent goal Sent to make me queasy And oh, it's hard now With time, it works out To be human is to love Even when it gets too much I'm not ready to give up To be human is to love Even when it gets too much I'm not ready to give up All the tigers have been out I don't care, I hear them howl I let them tear right through me Can you help me not to care? Every breath becomes a prayer Take this pain from me And oh you're so far now So far from my arms now To be human is to love Even when it gets too much I'm not ready to give up To be human is to love Even when it gets too much I'm not ready to give up To be human To be human To be human Just 'cause I predicted this Doesn't make it any easier to live with And what's the point of knowin' it If you can't change it? You can't change, can't change it Just 'cause I predicted this Doesn't make it any easier to live with And what's the point of knowin' it If you can't change it? You can't change, can't change it To be human is to love Even when it gets too much I'm not ready to give up To be human is to love Even when it gets too much There's no reason to give up Don't give up, no, oh! Don't give up

(What a great time to be human) There once was a boy who lost his own mother Loved him to death and smothered his brother The kids in the street all shouted with joy New shoes on their feet, they danced to destroy The boy became man, then ran to his lover She cast a spell to bring back his mother They went to the preacher and he banged a gong The crooks and believers all sing the same song Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human (What a great time to be human) There once was a girl who drank from the fountain She left her youth halfway up the mountain She went back to get it, but someone was there They had her committed and shaved off her hair They threw her a party with diamonds and spoons But they were bloodsuckers with crocodile shoes She went to the chemist to make her a dog But he was dyslexic, so he made a God (God, God, God) Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human (What a great time to be human) (Shanghai, summertime, goodbye) (What a great time to be human) Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human, to be human, to be human What a great time to be human Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human What a great time to be human

She's the princess of the suburbia Where everything's the same living in This spinning world might make her insane She's been chewing on some gum For eight or nine hours Gotta keep pushing through Like all these little blooming flowers She sees them from the safety of her room Found something and lost it in a virtual womb Now I'm trying to be human In a world so disconnected I feel so isolated (to be human) Don't know why she's still chewing All the flavors gone Wonder what she will find as it all carries on Looking from her window back into the screen Back again, back again, alternating scenes She's still searching from the safety of her room Looking for a connection in a virtual womb Now I'm trying to be human In a world so disconnected I feel so isolated (to be human) Yeah, I'm trying to be human Trying Truth and rhyme war all the time (oh, oh) Live, forget and just deny (oh) Destroy and lose (destroy and lose) Harmony in truth Now I'm trying to be human Yeah, I'm trying to be human Yeah, I'm trying to be human Trying (oh) To be human

This is only the beginning Four shots deep, I'm out alone again 'Cause I don't really know who to call friend, yeah Shoulda stayed home but I'd rather pretend That I'm not gonna lose it I know what I'm doing, yeah I call you but you never pick up Maybe I'm just asking too much, yeah Thought I'd knew it all by 21 But I still don't know How to be human Still don't know How to be human I don't know What I am doing? Please tell me How to be human 4 a.m. and I can't sleep again I don't know God but I know that I've sinned I wanna love but I have thicker skin Now that somebody has hurt me Heart was broken early, yeah I call you but you never pick up Maybe I'm just asking too much, yeah Thought I'd knew it all by 21 But I still don't know How to be human Still don't know How to be human I don't know What I am doing? Please tell me How to be human (Bending all my bones for you) (I don't know what's left of me) (What am I supposed to do?)

When you're all alone and you're thinking about everything Know that wherever I am That I am doing the same Across the ocean or a thousand miles It doesn't mean we can't talk awhile And smile (At each other) cause we're only human It's ok to be human We're stronger when we say we don't know the way The courage that it takes to keep on searching is a beautiful thing No use in pointing the blame we'll end this together Across the ocean, looking up at the stars There's something out there that let's us know it's OK It's ok to be human We're only human We'll get through this together Don't give up don't give up don't give up my love I won't give up won't give up I won't give up on you Don't give up don't give up don't give up my love We're together At least we're together
