A squirrel in the tree is he watching me<br>
Does he give a damn?<br>
Does he care who I am?<br>
I’m just a man, is that all I am<br>
Are my manners misinterpreted words or only human?<br>
I’m human<br>
<br>
Murderous crow, hey what you know<br>
What you reading about, what you hold in your toes<br>
Is that a twig, are you a dove of peace<br>
A black dove undercover, with another puzzle piece<br>
Are you a riddle to solve all along?<br>
Or am I over thinking thoughts of human after all<br>
<br>
Only human<br>
Made of flesh, made of sand, made of you and me<br>
The planet’s talking about a revolution<br>
The natural laws ain’t got no constitution<br>
They’ve got a right to live their own life<br>
But we keep paving over paradise<br>
<br>
‘Cause we’re only human<br>
Yes we are, only human<br>
If it’s our only excuse do you think we’ll keep on being only human<br>
Yes we are, yes we are<br>
Only human, only human, only human<br>
So far…<br>
<br>

Up in the major’s tree, the one he planted back when he was just a boy<br>
Thinking 1923<br>
Thirty meters and a foot, take a look, take a climb<br>
What you’ll find is the product of a seed<br>
The seed is sown, all alone<br>
It grows above, with a heart of love<br>
Sharp and shelter of the animals of land and cold weather breathing<br>
We’re all breathing in<br>
<br>
The planet’s talking about a revolution<br>
The natural laws ain’t got no constitution<br>
They’ve got a right to live their own life<br>
But we keep paving over paradise<br>
<br>
‘Cause we’re only human<br>
Yes we are, only human<br>
If it’s our only excuse do you think we’ll keep on being only human<br>
Yes we are, only human, only human, so far, so far<br>
<br>
And this place it will outlive me<br>
Before I get to heaven I’ll climb that tree<br>
And I will have to give my thanks<br>
For giving me the branch to swing on<br>
If I ever fall in love<br>
I’ll have to give myself a baby<br>
I will let my children have their way<br>
<br>
‘Cause we’re only human, yes we are<br>
Only human, so far, so far<br>
