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?   Black dove undercover with another puzzle piece      Are you a riddle to solve all along?   Or am I overthinking thoughts, I'm human after all   Only human, made of flesh, made of sand   Made of human      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   Oh yes we are, only human   If it?s our only excuse, do you think we?ll keep on being only human?   Oh yes we are, only human, so far, so far      Up in the major?s tree   The one he planted back when he was just a boy   Back in 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   A sharpened shelter of   The animals of land and cold weather breathing   We?re all breathing      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   Oh yes we are, only human   If it?s our only excuse, do you think we?ll keep on being only human?   Oh yes we are, 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 hope to give myself a baby   I will let my children have their way      Because we?re only human   Oh yes we are, only human, so far, so far   So far, so far
