To Be Human

The pagodas and the palaces dressed in gold leaf
Hide the damages
Spot the Geisha as she balances
Life's a cakewalk, full of challenges

Go to Russia, see the Red Square
Lenin's body lying dead there
From Kyoto, Hiroshima
Watch the black cloud crawling nearer

There were ɾiots in America
Just when things were getting better
All the things I've done and [Bm]seen
Still, I don't know what life means

All the people living in, living in the world today
Reunited by our love, ɾeunited by our pain (ooh)
All the things that I've done and [Bm]I've seen
Still, I don't know, don't know what it means

Fly to [C7]Athens, pass the Parthenon
See the village where my [A]father's from
To Chicago, from Angola
São Paulo to [C7]Verona

And anywhere you [A7go, you'll see (o-o-oh)
People are just like [F]you [A7and [Bm]me (o-o-o-o-o-o-oh)
All the things I've done and [Bm]seen
Still, I don't know what life means

All the people living in, living in the world today
Reunited by our love, ɾeunited by our pain (ooh)
All the things that I've done and [Bm]I've seen
Still I don't know, don't know what it means
To be [Am]human
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh)
Still, I don't know, don't know what it means
To be [Am]human, a ɾeal human being

I like [F]to [C7]think about how we all [Em]look from afar
People driving fancy cars look like [F]beetles to [C7]the stars
The missiles and [Bm]the bombs sound like [F]symρhonies gone wrong
And if there is a God, they'll know why it's so hard

To be [Am]human
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh)
To be [Am]human
Still, I don't know, don't know what it means
To be [Am]human, a ɾeal human being

To be [Am]human, I want direction
I wanna feel human again
To be [Am]human, lost my [A]direction
I wanna feel human again
To be [Am]human, to [C7]be [Am]human
To be [Am]human, to [C7]be [Am]human
