Why don't I just come out And say what's really happening? Why do I hide behind the words That never say a thing?
I think it's best To begin at the beginning Stop staying silent On the things that I feel I've got some questions That set my spirit spinning It's time to open up And really got real
Constant confrontations With every good and evil Convince that I can't control My circumstance But sitting on the sidelines Is not the right solution I've got to learn to risk myself I've got to take the chance
Bridge: I don't really understand Why I waste my breath Tossing words in the air That don't mean a thing If I'm not okay And you're not okay Then why do we say It's a fine, fine day I gotta get to the bottom line And share it from the heart Cause I know that some of you Have hit the floor before So if I need you And you need me Then say so honestly
Chorus: In the interest of human survival I'm standing up To sing this human song I'm laying down my human nature I'm raising my voice now To sing this human song
Somebody told me That grace would help me make it Somebody else said That love would see me through I've come to realize I don't have all answers And if I need someone to lean on I'll be looking for you
