I want to be just a human

[Verse 1]
I want to be just a human
Not a lesson on a folded card
Speaking what I think to strategists
Not bleating with my eyes cast down
I want to be just a human
To live
To love
To trust in wonders
Even if I lose my place to sleep
I’ll close my eyes where the heavens start

[Chorus]
I want to be just a human
And breathe freedom and my dreams
To encircle all the world with dawn
And invite you to my door (come in)
I want to be just a human
With friends scattered everywhere
And when my strength is almost gone
You’ll still find me standing there

[Verse 2]
I want to walk through every city
With empty hands and open palms
Trade my certainties for stories
Share my silence
Share my songs
If every border starts to crumble
If every safety net comes loose
I’ll stitch a sky from torn-up moments
Wear it like a simple truth

[Chorus]
I want to be just a human
And breathe freedom and my dreams
To encircle all the world with dawn
And invite you to my door (come in)
I want to be just a human
With friends scattered everywhere
And when my strength is almost gone
You’ll still find me standing there (right there)
