To Be Human

V6

[Verse 1] To be human is to touch this earth, To feel it through the senses That have fooled me since my birth. To see you suffer, see them cry, To see life form and falter Right before our eyes. [Pre-Chorus] To watch the patterns in your windowpanes, And love the ways we’re different and the same. [Chorus] To be human, to be human, Is to love and lose and try again. To be human, to be human, Is to hurt and heal and let love in. To know the beauty and the tragedy That brought the gift of you to me. For all the joy and all we go through, What a gift to be human with you. [Verse 2] To be human is to watch birds dance, To ponder what they know of joy, Of peace, of circumstance. To aim for perfect all our lives, And hope we live long enough To finally realize: [Pre-Chorus] It was you, as you have always been. It was here, just waiting to be seen. [Chorus] To be human, to be human, Is to love and lose and try again. To be human, to be human, Is to hurt and heal and let love in. To know the beauty and the tragedy That brought the gift of you to me. For all the joy and all we go through, What a gift to be human with you. [Bridge] To suffer and hurt and learn, To seek and heal and wonder and yearn. To lose our love behind the fear, Then find it’s always been right here. [Final Chorus] To be human, to be human, Is to love and lose and try again. To be human, to be human, Is to hurt and heal and let love in. To know the beauty and the tragedy That brought the gift of you to me. For all the joy and all we go through, What a gift to be human with you. [Outro] To know this truth, To see this beauty, To feel this joy, To touch this earth as only we do, We have to be human. To Be Human [Verse 1] To be human is to touch this earth, To see it through the senses That have shaped me since my birth. To see you suffer, see them cry, To watch life form and falter Before our very eyes. [Pre-Chorus] To watch the patterns in your windowpanes, And love our parallels and different ways. [Chorus] To be human, to be human, Is to love and lose and start again. To be human, to be human, Is to hurt and heal and let love in. To know the beauty and the pain That brought us here to meet today. Through all we lose and all we go through, What a gift to be human with you. [Verse 2] To be human is to watch birds dance, To wonder at their joy and peace Each time they take a chance. To aim for perfect, hoping we Will live long enough to finally see: [Pre-Chorus] It is you, as you have always been. It is here, where it has always been. [Chorus] To be human, to be human, Is to love and lose and start again. To be human, to be human, Is to hurt and heal and let love in. To know the beauty and the pain That brought us here to meet today. Through all we lose and all we go through, What a gift to be human with you. [Bridge] To suffer and hurt and learn, To seek and heal and wonder and yearn. To lose our love behind the fear, Then find it’s always been right here. [Final Chorus] To be human, to be human, Is to love and lose and start again. To be human, to be human, Is to hurt and heal and let love in. To know the beauty and the pain That brought us here to meet today. Through all we lose and all we go through, What a gift to be human with you. [Outro] To know this truth, to see this beauty, To feel this joy the way we do, To touch this earth and know each other: We have to be human.
