Only Human

A squirrel in the tree is he watching meDoes he give a damn?Does he care who I am?I'm just a man, is that all I amAre my manners misinterpreted words or only human?I'm humanMurderous crow, hey what you knowWhat you reading about, what you hold in your toesIs that a twig, are you a dove of peaceA black dove undercover,with another puzzle pieceAre you a riddle to solve all along?Or am I over thinking thoughts of human after allOnly humanMade of flesh, made of sand, made of humanThe planet's talking about a revolutionThe natural laws ain't got no constitutionThey've got a right to live their own lifeBut we keep paving over paradiseCause we're only humanYes we are, only humanIf it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep onbeing only humanYes we are, yes we areOnly human, only human, only humanSo far...Up in the major's tree,the one he planted back when he was just a boyThinking 1923Thirty meters and a foot, take a look, take a climbWhat you'll find is the product of a seedThe seed is sown, all aloneIt grows above, with a heart of loveSharp and shelter of the animals of land and coldweather breathingWe're all breathing inThe planet's talking about a revolutionThe natural laws ain't got no constitutionThey've got a right to live their own lifeBut we keep paving over paradiseCause we're only humanYes we are, only humanIf it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep onbeing only humanYes we are, only human, only human, so far, so farAnd this place it will outlive meBefore I get to heaven I'll climb that treeAnd I will have to give my thanksFor giving me the branch to swing onIf I ever fall in loveI'll have to give myself a babyI will let my children have their wayCause we're only human, yes we areOnly human, so far, so far
