Intro:
I’ve been so close still
I’m so far
Only human
Reaching for the stars
Then I stutter try to get ahead
Look at my reflection saw your face instead
I’m heading home

Verse 1:
I am a new kind of human being
Consumed with seeing
Myself in a new light
And trying to do right
In the sight of the righteous one
Undefined alive as the rising sun
New life of the heart of the darkest of skin
Like targets we guard the harvest beings
The hardest of roads we walk untraveled
The way we made the world unraveled
So now the balance is skewed we were fooled
Like lambs from the slaughter plans from a daughter unwed
Arranging a marriage from the dead
I can’t seem to get your thoughts out of my head
I’ll evolve and transform
Like storm clouds changing to blue skies true lies why I’m amazing
And I’m waiting for the changes to come
Chasing dreams in the mean time and seeing the sun rise


Chorus
I’ve been so close still
I’m so far
Only human
Reaching for the stars
Then I stutter try to get ahead
Look at my reflection saw your face instead
I’m heading home

Verse 2
I’ve been described as a renaissance man. In a house on sand
Unstable, unable to walk on hands and knees
I’m crawling like infants balling
The work keeps calling, I feel like falling
Fly’s on cheese, dying on the streets
Like vermin the sermon and the truth don’t meet
And the Youth don’t speak cause they’ve never been spoken to
And we wonder why the spirits so broken
Close minds open
Nothing gets through
We worship tradition so nothing is new
Like under the sun, life under the gun
Fight until we won now our world is undone
But if war comes we don’t plan to show up
It’s hard to be a man, like pan’s scared to grow up
Too many lost boys seeing the end
They don’t care lead by their fair weather friends

Chorus
I’ve been so close still
I’m so far
Only human
Reaching for the stars
Then I stutter try to get ahead
Look at my reflection saw your face instead
I’m heading home

Verse 3
The world can be perverted and bleak
We’re herded like sheep
Flirting with destiny, earning our keep
It’s best too be good but it’s so damn hard
Should be near to the spirit but we are so damn far
The system we live in tried and untrue
We don’t smile, we are like miles kind of blue
Black and white only simple divisions
We gather shades of grey like pigeons
Flying in the face of truth with no qualms
Dying to paint the cold world white as snow storms
Poltical warfare we can’t call it murder
Brothers they got blocked covered like a Burka
No wonder the death toll climbed like a shirpa
They make great weapons we ain’t never heard of
Children not learn cause we’re uncertain
Burning for the truth still the world keeps turning

Chorus
I’ve been so close still
I’m so far
Only human
Reaching for the stars
Then I stutter try to get ahead
Look at my reflection saw your face instead
I’m heading home
