To Be Human lyrics

The pagodas and the palaces

Dressed in gold leaf hide the damages

Spot the Geisha as she balances

Life's a cakewalk, full of challenges

Go to Russia, see the Red Square

Lenin's body lying dead there

From Kyoto, Hiroshima

Watch the black cloud crawling nearer

There were riots in America

Just when things were getting better

All the things I've done and seen

Still I don't know what life means

All the people living in, living in the world today

We're united by our love, we're united by our pain (Ooh)

All the things that I've done and I've seen

Still, I don't know, don't know what it means

Fly to Athens, pass the Parthenon

See the village where my father's from

To Chicago from Angola

São Paulo to Verona

And anywhere you go, you'll see (Ooh)

People are just like you and me (Ooh)

All the things I've done and seen

Still, I don't know what life means

All the people living in, living in the world today

We're united by our love, we're united by our pain (Ooh)

All the things that I've done and I've seen

Still, I don't know, don't know what it means

To be human

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Still, I don't know, don't know what it means

To be human, a real human being

I like to think about how we all look from afar

People driving fancy cars look like beetles to the stars

The missiles and the bombs sound like symphonies gone wrong

And if there is a God, they'll know why it's so hard

To be human

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

To be hu-

Still, I don't know, don't know what it means

To be human, a real human being

(To be human)

I want direction, ooh

I wanna feel human again

(To be human)

Lost my direction, ooh

I wanna feel human again

To be human, to be human

To be human, to be human
