JASON MRAZ LYRICS - Only Human

"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 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

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

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

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
