A squirrel in the tree's watching me
Does he give a damn?
Does he care who I am?
I'm just a man, is that all I am?
All my manners misinterpreted
Words are only human, I'm human

Murderous crow, hey what you know?
What you raving about?
What you hold in your toes?
Is that a twig or are you a dove of peace?
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 you and me

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
How do we think we'll keep on being
Only human, 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
I think in 1923
30 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
How do we think we'll keep on being
Only human, yes we are
Only human, only human, only human
So far, so far

And this place, it will outlive me
Before I get to heaven, I 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 hope to give myself a baby
I will let my children have their way

'Cause we're only human.
Yes we are, only human
If it's our only excuse
How do we think we'll keep on being
Only human, yes we are
Only human, only human, only human
So far.
