Human

Credits go to Camille Apin, because she helped me find the words. Literally. They were e-mailed to me when she dissected my previous post and demanded that I make a song out of the words I'd written. It's still terrible, but she thought it was perfect this way. Then again, it was during Spanish, and neither of us ever pays attention in that class. And so...Thank you, Camille. 

Sittin' here, wondering about, everything that we've been through

It's hard to see, what happened to you and me

In another light, without you by my side

It all feels like, I've got nowhere to hide

It's different now, like the walls have all come down

And now I can't, see your eyes, whenever I turn around

And all these thoughts in my head come off too loud

Like a flood of sound, in a silent crowd 

And I can't stop the surge

But why should I when I know

That this is what is it

And this is who I am

Nothing more and nothing less

Than a human

There's nothing bad, just something good

And this time it's all all right

Since I know, that I should just be human

I'm sitting here, all by myself, and I know that deep inside

The answers were always there, to questions I never tried

Ones I never asked. Oh, what's like to be human?

And now I see, there's so much more to know

Trying run, trying to hide, with nowhere else to go

It's the thing that makes mistakes

It's the one that picks you up (when nothing else can)

It's the one that makes you love

At the times when you feel hate and just want to give up

Now I know

That this is what is it

And this is who I am

Nothing more and nothing less

Than a human

There's nothing bad, just something good

And this time it's all all right

Since I know, that I should just be human

And that is what it is

That is what life is

But the journey I'm on now, has taken a different way

Is it the better one? Who's to say? (Really)

But is there a better one? Maybe I'll find it someday

I just know, that things will different now

Things will now be done, the way that I choose how

Things will be me

And I will be

I will be human 

Because now maybe...I can be human
