Lyrics
We're only human
living our lives
We're only human
tryin' to survive
We're only human
and life is our goal
We're only human
give us some control
Someone please explain to me
How this dream has cease to be
How this brother to brother
Is now one against the other
How the story break my heart
How they tore our world apart
We're not after possession
We just wanna leave without oppression
We're only human
living our lives
We're only human
tryin' to survive
We're only human
and life is our goal
We're only human
give us some control
Don't you know it's plain to see
How it's time to set us free
Don't use science and fiction
To explain away your contradictions
How we're s'pose to live in peace
If we have to fight like beast
It's the way of this Nation
To abolish laws of segregation
We're only human
living our lives
We're only human
tryin' to survive
We're only human
and life is our goal
We're only human
give us some control
