Human
Embracing Imperfection: A Human Love Journey
Lyrics
Today I woke up early
Expressing the start of the day, waking up early.
I saw you sleeping there
Observing someone sleeping peacefully.
I rose and tiptoed softly out
Quietly leaving the sleeping person.
To see day dawn through cold air
Witnessing the dawn and the cold morning air.
The grass and leaves were lacy
Describing the delicate appearance of grass and leaves covered in dew.
In white dew soon melt away
Noting that the dew will soon melt as the day progresses.
I really wanted somebody to
Expressing a desire for comfort and reassurance.
Hold me and to say
Seeking emotional support and affirmation.
Sweetheart, you're only human
Reassuring the person that they are human and shouldn't be too hard on themselves.
Don't blame yourself so hard
Encouraging self-compassion and discouraging self-blame.
You only did what we all do
Acknowledging that the person did what everyone does in relationships.
You thought your love was enough to
Believing that love alone was thought to be sufficient.
Change his mind
Expressing the hope that love could change someone's mind.
Change his heart
Hoping that love could also change someone's heart.
Provide a place for your lives to start
Desiring to create a foundation for their lives together.
But it takes two to try to
Emphasizing the mutual effort required in a relationship.
It takes two tryin'
Stressing the collaborative nature of striving for love.
It takes two tryin'
Repeating the importance of joint effort in love.
And you can't will
Highlighting the inability to force or control love.
You can't will
Reiterating the limitation on influencing love through willpower.
You can't will love, love to life
Stating that love cannot be willed into existence.
But you can do the loving thing
Encouraging actions that express love rather than trying to control it.
Make like a bird and fly
Using a metaphor, suggesting the freedom to move on like a bird and fly.
