We're Only Human
Embracing Humanity's Resilience: A Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
In shanty towns, on ghetto streets
In impoverished areas and disadvantaged neighborhoods,
Where mad dogs fight while the children sleep
Where intense struggles occur while children are unaware in their slumber,
In border camps for refugees
In camps at the borders where displaced people seek refuge,
A voice cries out from the wind
A voice is heard amidst the winds,
We're only human, flesh and blood
We, as human beings, are inherently fallible, bound by our physical existence,
On desert plains, in burnt-out lands
In vast and desolate landscapes, in regions devastated by conflict,
Where young and old hold out their hands
Where both the young and old extend their hands in need,
And war machines have razed the land
And the destructive force of war machines has laid waste to the terrain,
A voice cries out from the sand
A voice resonates from the barren sand,
We're only human, flesh and blood
Emphasizing our shared humanity, acknowledging our vulnerability as flesh and blood,
I sit alone, a silent scream
In moments of solitude, a silent scream echoes within,
Broken dream, a memory
A shattered dream and a lingering memory,
It all comes back to you and me
All experiences trace back to the connection between 'you' and 'me',
I know that deep in my soul
Deep within the essence of my soul, I recognize,
We're only human flesh and blood
That fundamentally, we are only human—subject to the frailty of flesh and blood.
