Lyrics
Only Human
Take a good look at me
Am I everything you hoped I?d be
I?m not some sanitized, canonized woman
I am flesh and fear and blood and tears and anger
Said and done are things I?m not proud of
Done are dreams I let slide
I have taken, forsaken and run away
And I am innocent and I am guilty
Bound by conscience, bound by need
I am only human
Tensions build, blood gets spilled every day
Another mother?s baby killed, just another day
Lay back, relax
It?s somebody else?s life
And I am powerless and I?m in control
I?ve done nothing and I?ve done it all
I am only human
I am only human
This is all I know
Just a drop of water
Just a grain of sand
Just a touch of glory
Raining in my hand
I am only human
I am only human
This is all I know
