[Verse 1] I want to be just a human Not a lesson on a folded card Speaking what I think to strategists Not bleating with my eyes cast down I want to be just a human To live To love To trust in wonders Even if I lose my place to sleep I’ll close my eyes where the heavens start [Chorus] I want to be just a human And breathe freedom and my dreams To encircle all the world with dawn And invite you to my door (come in) I want to be just a human With friends scattered everywhere And when my strength is almost gone You’ll still find me standing there [Verse 2] I want to walk through every city With empty hands and open palms Trade my certainties for stories Share my silence Share my songs If every border starts to crumble If every safety net comes loose I’ll stitch a sky from torn-up moments Wear it like a simple truth [Chorus] I want to be just a human And breathe freedom and my dreams To encircle all the world with dawn And invite you to my door (come in) I want to be just a human With friends scattered everywhere And when my strength is almost gone You’ll still find me standing there (right there)
