Only Human (From the Casa Nova Sessons) - 2023 Remaster

Squirrel in the tree
Is he watching me?
Does he give a damn?
Does he care who I am?
I'm just a man
Is that all I am?
Are my manners misinterpreted?
Words are only human
I'm human

Murderous crow
Hey, what'cha know?
What'cha raving about?
What'cha hold in your toes?
Is that a twig?
Are you a dove of peace?
Black dove
Undercover with another puzzle piece

Are you a riddle to solve all along?
Or am I overthinking thoughts?
I'm human after all
Only human
Made of flesh
Made of sand
Made of you and me

The planet's talkin' about a revolution
The natural laws ain't got no constitution
They've got a right to live their own life
But we keep paving over paradise

'Cause we're only human
Yes, we are
Only human
If it's our only excuse
How do we think we'll keep on being
Only human?
Yes we are, yes we are
Only human
Only human
Only human
So far
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

Up in the major's tree
The one he planted back when he was just a boy
I think in 1923
Thirty meters and a foot
Take a look, take a climb
What you'll find is the product of a seed

The seed is sown
All alone, it grows above
With a heart of love
Sharpened shelter of the animals of land
And cold weather breathing
We're all breathing in

The planet's talking about a revolution
The natural laws ain't got no constitution
They've got a right to live their own life
But we keep paving over paradise

'Cause we're only human
Yes, we are
Only human
If it's our only excuse
How do we think we'll keep on being
Only human?
Yes we are
Only human
Only human
So far, so far

And this place, it will outlive me
Before I get to heaven, I'll climb that tree
And I will have to give my thanks
For giving me the branch to swing on
If I ever fall in love
I hope to give myself a baby
I will let my children have their way

'Cause we're only human
Yes, we are
Only human
So far, so far

Woo-ooh
