To Be Human

The pagodas and the palaces dressed in gold leaf Hide the damages Spot the Geisha as she balances Life's a cakewalk, full of challenges Go to Russia, see the Red Square Lenin's body lying dead there From Kyoto, Hiroshima Watch the black cloud crawling nearer There were riots in America Just when things were getting better All the things I've done and seen Still, I don't know what life means All the people living in, living in the world today Reunited by our love, reunited by our pain (ooh) All the things that I've done and I've seen Still, I don't know, don't know what it means Fly to Athens, pass the Parthenon See the village where my father's from To Chicago, from Angola São Paulo to Verona And anywhere you go, you'll see (o-o-oh) People are just like you and me (o-o-o-o-o-o-oh) All the things I've done and seen Still, I don't know what life means All the people living in, living in the world today Reunited by our love, reunited by our pain (ooh) All the things that I've done and I've seen Still I don't know, don't know what it means To be human (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh) Still, I don't know, don't know what it means To be human, a real human being I like to think about how we all look from afar People driving fancy cars look like beetles to the stars The missiles and the bombs sound like symphonies gone wrong And if there is a God, they'll know why it's so hard To be human (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh) To be human Still, I don't know, don't know what it means To be human, a real human being To be human, I want direction I wanna feel human again To be human, lost my direction I wanna feel human again To be human, to be human To be human, to be human
