Look at how they crawl around

Upon the ground

Like little ants

Yes, but how they fascinate

Confusing fate

With what is merely chance

Isn’t it a laugh?

Isn’t it a shame?

Thinking there is someone in Heaven to blame

Yes, but even while blaming fate for the lives that they lead

They hope for the lives that they need

Living every day ‘til the day they die

Never getting answers

Yet still asking why

Going through the motions as if there will be a reward

While we stay eternally bored!

They’re only human

They don’t see

Who they are is who they’ll always be

Only human, after all

So they push and they shove

With this thing they call love

Til they fall!

Isn’t it a farce?

Isn’t it a waste?

Struggling to face what can never be faced

Yes, but maybe death can release something more than we share

I really don’t know and don’t care

They’re only human

Standing still

Doomed to live pushing boulders uphill

Only human, after all

So they give and they take

Hoping someone will help break their fall

They will pray, curse, live, die

Never knowing their truth is another man’s lie

Eat, sleep, love, hate

Like a leaf blowing in the wind

Watch them all vacillate!

They’re only human

They can’t see

All the years they could give you and me

Only human, after all

So they give and we take

Til their silly hearts break

Looking down from above

I’m intrigued by their love

So let’s call!
