The Human Condition
Embracing Kindness in the Human Condition
Lyrics
Lookin' out my window on a Wednesday night
Observing surroundings from the window on a Wednesday night
Yeah there’s people livin' there behind
Acknowledging the presence of people living with porch lights on
Their front porch lights
Highlighting the shared experience of living on the same street
And I don't know a thing about them
Expressing a lack of knowledge about the neighbors
They don’t know me
Emphasizing mutual unfamiliarity with each other
We're probably on different roads but
Suggesting different life paths for the speaker and neighbors
We share the same street
Pointing out the commonality of sharing the same street
All I know, all I know, all I know is
Reiterating limited knowledge about the neighbors
We all need, we all need a little kindness
Stating the universal need for kindness
There's hurt inside us all
Acknowledging internal pain within individuals
We're not that different, no
Asserting the commonality among people despite differences
We all need, we all need a little kindness
Reiterating the universal requirement for kindness
We're out here livin'
Confirming the existence of life experiences
It's the human condition, yeah
Describing life as the "human condition"
Yuh, every now and then I can hear him shout
Noting occasional shouts from an angry neighbor
The angry, old man livin' two doors down
Describing the anger of an elderly neighbor two doors down
Screamin’ at the kids, stay off my property
Highlighting the neighbor's frustration with children
Mm there’s probably eighty years of reasons
Suggesting a long history contributing to the neighbor's anger
Why he's so angry (All I know is)
Expressing uncertainty about the reasons behind the anger
We all need, we all need a little kindness
Stating the essential need for kindness
There’s hurt inside us all
Acknowledging pain present in everyone
We're not that different, no
Emphasizing the commonality among individuals
We all need, we all need a little kindness
Reiterating the universal requirement for kindness
We're out here livin'
Confirming the existence of life experiences
It’s the human condition
Describing life as the "human condition"
We all need, we all need a little kindness
Reiterating the essential need for kindness
There's hurt inside us all
Acknowledging pain present in everyone
We're not that different, no
Emphasizing the commonality among individuals
We all need, we all need a little kindness
Reiterating the universal requirement for kindness
We're out here livin'
Confirming the existence of life experiences
It's the human condition
Describing life as the "human condition"
It's the human condition
Emphasizing the universal nature of the human condition
It's the human condition
-'Cause we all need
Asserting the collective need for kindness
We all need a little kindness
Reiterating the universal requirement for kindness
