Squirrel in the tree is he watching me 
Does he give a damn 
Does he care who I am 
I'm just a man, is that all I am 
Are my manners misinterpreted words or only human 
I'm human 

Murderous crow, hey what you know 
What you reading about, what you hold in your toes 
Is that a twig, are you a dove of peace 
A black dove undercover, with another puzzle piece 
Are you a riddle to solve all along 
Or am I over thinking thoughts of human after all 

Only human 
Made of flesh, made of sand, made of human 
The planet's talking about a revolution 
The natural laws ain't got no constitution 
They've got a right to live their own life 
But we keep paving over paradise 

'Cause we're only human 
Yes we are, Only human 
If it's our only excuse or do we think we'll keep on being only human 
Yes we are, Only human 
So far, So far 

Up in the major's tree, the one he planted back when he was just a boy back in 1923 
Thirty meters and a foot, take a look, take a climb 
What you'll find is the product of a seed 
The seed is sown, all alone 
It grows above, with a heart of love 
Sharp and shelter of the animals of land and cold weather breathing 
We're all breathing 

The planet's talking about a revolution 
The natural laws ain't got no constitution 
They've got a right to live their own life 
But we keep paving over paradise 

'Cause we're only human 
Yes we are, Only human 
If it's our only excuse or do we think we'll keep on being only human 
Yes we are, Only human 
So far, So far 

And this place it will outlive me 
Before I get to heaven I'll climb that tree 
And I will have to give my thanks 
For giving me the branch to swing on 
If I ever fall in love 
I'd love to give myself a baby 
I will let my children have their way 

Because we're only human, yes we are 
Only human, So far, So far 
So Far, So Far
