Jason Mraz - Only Human lyrics

A squirrel in the tree is he watching me<br>

Does he give a damn?<br>

Does he care who I am?<br>

I’m just a man, is that all I am<br>

Are my manners misinterpreted words or only human?<br>

I’m human<br>

<br>

Murderous crow, hey what you know<br>

What you reading about, what you hold in your toes<br>

Is that a twig, are you a dove of peace<br>

A black dove undercover, with another puzzle piece<br>

Are you a riddle to solve all along?<br>

Or am I over thinking thoughts of human after all<br>

<br>

Only human<br>

Made of flesh, made of sand, made of you and me<br>

The planet’s talking about a revolution<br>

The natural laws ain’t got no constitution<br>

They’ve got a right to live their own life<br>

But we keep paving over paradise<br>

<br>

‘Cause we’re only human<br>

Yes we are, only human<br>

If it’s our only excuse do you think we’ll keep on being only human<br>

Yes we are, yes we are<br>

Only human, only human, only human<br>

So far…<br>

<br>

Up in the major’s tree, the one he planted back when he was just a boy<br>

Thinking 1923<br>

Thirty meters and a foot, take a look, take a climb<br>

What you’ll find is the product of a seed<br>

The seed is sown, all alone<br>

It grows above, with a heart of love<br>

Sharp and shelter of the animals of land and cold weather breathing<br>

We’re all breathing in<br>

<br>

The planet’s talking about a revolution<br>

The natural laws ain’t got no constitution<br>

They’ve got a right to live their own life<br>

But we keep paving over paradise<br>

<br>

‘Cause we’re only human<br>

Yes we are, only human<br>

If it’s our only excuse do you think we’ll keep on being only human<br>

Yes we are, only human, only human, so far, so far<br>

<br>

And this place it will outlive me<br>

Before I get to heaven I’ll climb that tree<br>

And I will have to give my thanks<br>

For giving me the branch to swing on<br>

If I ever fall in love<br>

I’ll have to give myself a baby<br>

I will let my children have their way<br>

<br>

‘Cause we’re only human, yes we are<br>

Only human, so far, so far<br>
