Only human
½ÜÉ­ ÂêÒ®×ÈJason Mraz Lyrics

A squirrel in the tree is he watching me
Is the squirrel actually paying attention to me?

Does he give a damn?
Does the squirrel really care about my existence?

Does he care who I am?
Is the squirrel interested in knowing me as a person?

I'm just a man, is that all I am
Am I really only defined by my gender and nothing more?

Are my manners misinterpreted words or only human?
Are my actions and words being misinterpreted or is it just human nature?

I'm human
I am not a perfect being, I am bound to make mistakes because of my humanity.

Murderous crow, hey what you know
Hey crow, what kind of knowledge do you possess?

What you reading about, what you hold in your toes
What is the crow reading and carrying in its toes?

Is that a twig, are you a dove of peace
Is the crow carrying a twig or is it a symbol of peace?

A black dove undercover, with another puzzle piece
The crow might not be what it initially appears to be, and it holds a part of the puzzle.

Are you a riddle to solve all along?
Is the crow a mysterious puzzle to be solved all along?

Or am I over thinking thoughts of human after all
Are my thoughts and perceptions of the crow clouded by human overthinking?

Only human
We, as humans, are not perfect or omnipotent beings.

Made of flesh, made of sand, made of you and me
We are all made of the same basic components of flesh and sand, regardless of who we are or where we come from.

The planet's talking about a revolution
The world is in the process of changing.

The natural laws ain't got no constitution
The laws of nature are not bound by human laws or decisions.

They've got a right to live their own life
All beings, including those in nature, have the right to their own lives and existence.

But we keep paving over paradise
Humanity, in our quest for development, often destroys nature and its beauty.

Cause we're only human
Our mistakes and faults are a result of our humanity.

If it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep on being only human
If we continue to use our humanity as an excuse for our actions, will we continue to make the same mistakes?

Up in the major's tree, the one he planted back when he was just a boy
The tree was planted a long time ago by someone who was once a child.

Thinking 1923
The tree was planted in the year 1923.

Thirty meters and a foot, take a look, take a climb
You can see the tree's size best by looking at it from a higher vantage point.

What you'll find is the product of a seed
The tree grew from a single seed.

The seed is sown, all alone
The seed was planted by itself.

It grows above, with a heart of love
The tree grows tall and sturdy, providing shelter for animals.

Sharp and shelter of the animals of land and cold weather breathing
The tree provides a sharp and protective shelter for animals who live in the cold.

And this place it will outlive me
The tree and this place will exist long after I am gone.

Before I get to heaven I'll climb that tree
Before I die, I want to climb that tree.

And I will have to give my thanks
I will be grateful for the opportunity to climb the tree.

For giving me the branch to swing on
I am grateful for the branches that allowed me to freely climb the tree.

If I ever fall in love
If I ever fall in love, I will be blessed.

I'll have to give myself a baby
I will want to have a child someday.

I will let my children have their way
As a parent, I will give my children the freedom to be themselves.

Yes we are, only human
We must remember that we are only human.

Only human, only human, so far...
We are all only human and have limitations in our abilities and perspectives so far.
