[Verse 1]
It's hard to be a human being
Just seeking, needing, feeling pain
From things you can't articulate
And dodging blame
And measuring
And hiding shame
It's hard

[Verse 2]
It's hard to open up your heart
And face the fact that you could fail
And show the world what you don't know
And let your long-held high ground go
So you get cold
And act apart
I get it, though
It's hard

[Bridge]
A human being was shaped by God
It's just an ape with changes made
It crowds the Earth, it takes and takes
Just like a plague
But still there's good
Or even great
Can we escape?
Is it too late?
[Verse 3]
And I've got nothing smart to say
To wrap it up, to come to close
I hardly see beyond my nose
And I've got no idea of
What you've been through
Or had to do
Or rose above
But brother, I believe in love
