It's no mystery that we're all different. Our differences are what make us unique, and in my opinion, keeps life interesting. But that's no excuse for using our difference or the differences of others to rationalize the persecution/prejudice of others. At the root of all people, we all enjoy the same liberties, happiness, and values. It is this root that makes us human, if nothing else.
lyrics
Human
Chorus
What it means to be human,
What it means to be human,
What it means to be human,
What it means…
What it means to be human
What it means to be human…
What it means
Verse 1
Don’t worry, I come in peace
Where am I from? I’m from Mommies
Just like you I look just like you too
Ehh…close enough, how’ve you been holding up?
I may not show it but, I have potent love for all of you
Who may never been told enough growing up
Afraid to open up, but sure enough
I love all of you just like grown men love
Their families is that something you can’t believe?
No? Then why do you say I can’t come clean?
They say it’s insanity, I’m just trying to plant the seed
For humanity and water it foster it
With love and care like Mother Earth and Father did
But all there is are tampered streams
Take a gander, see? Land or sea
And are we man or beasts?
And for me? I’m a human being lover before a tree hugger
So why am I asking all these questions?
Well, because no one is answering
Verse 2
I once thought I was lost in a world of my own, a lonely one
You’re not alone or the only one
The more I see, the more I realize
I don’t need four eyes to see that you’re like me
What a discovery, neither of us like the pain or suffering of life
But hey, another thing is the joys and delights you enjoy in your life
For a second
Until a second party destroys it in five from the choices in mind
But haven’t we all had it rough?
Then that’s enough
Going at each other’s throats with bats and slugs
And perhaps give love
Maybe that is what…
[Adlib]
