Under rich, relentless skies

I've been setting highs

I felt you walk right through me

You're the thing that I invoke

My all persistent goal

Sent to make me queazy

And oh, it's hard now

With time, it works out

To be human is to love

Even when it gets too much

I'm not ready to give up

To be human is to love

Even when it gets too much

I'm not ready to give up

All the tigers have been out

I don't care, I hear them howl

I let them tear right through me

Can you help me not to care?

Every breath becomes a prayer

Take this pain from me

And oh you're so far now

So far from my arms now

To be human is to love

Even when it gets too much

I'm not ready to give up

To be human is to love

Even when it gets too much

I'm not ready to give up

To be human

To be human

To be human

Just 'cause I predicted this

Doesn't make it any easier to live with

And what's the point of knowin' it

If you can't change it? You can't change, can't change it

Just 'cause I predicted this

Doesn't make it any easier to live with

And what's the point of knowin' it

If you can't change it? You can't change, can't change it

To be human is to love

Even when it gets too much

I'm not ready to give up

To be human is to love

Even when it gets too much

There's no reason to give up

Don't give up
