Only Human

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 you and me 

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, yes we are 

Only human, only human, only human 

So far… 



Up in the major’s tree, 

the one he planted back when he was just a boy 

Thinking 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 in 



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, 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
