I run faster than I'm able to go
I think I've learned all there is to know
I trip over things that I put in my way
It's easy finding another to blame
I thought that I was a shoo-in
I fall face flat how am I doing?
After all I'm only human
You act so righteous it's hard to believe
Surely God's eyes are rolling
You say you've never been taken seriously
You must be joking
You're never wrong you thought I knew it
You're always right just can't prove it
After all you're only human
We look all the wrong places for the divine
We're only water when we could be wine
These children at play will soon be soldiers at war
It ain't been long since we walked on all fours
Life's a game I'm assuming
You learn to play while you're tuning
Well that's okay we're only human
Oh you better watch out 'cause we're only human
