How Human We Are
How human we are
When chill wind blows,
and tempest storms are done,
You will find me waiting,
when the evening comes.
No matter the tears, that we both have shed
we'll forget them and rejoice... instead.
Chorus
Everyday... as the world burns
we remember who we are
we remember who we are
And everyday, are lessons learned?
(remember) how human we are
(remember) how human we are
A generation goes,
as another one comes...
They'll keep on fighting,
like they've always done.
They calm their fears, with blood they have shed
but hatred lingers, as both bury their dead.
Chorus
Everyday... as the world burns
we remember who we are
we remember who we are
And everyday, are lessons learned?
(remember) how human we are
(remember) how human we are
Bridge 1
After a lifetimes spent, will we reflect having no regret?
We sit and stare in silence, bound forever, and for good...
Shared suffering is better, yes, it's better by far...
let's not forget... how human we are
Chorus
Everyday... as the world burns
we remember who we are
we remember who we are
And everyday, are lessons learned?
(remember) how human we are
(remember) how human we are
how human we are
how human we are
how human we are
repeat and fade
