Under rich, relentless skies
I've been setting highs
I felt you walk right through me
You're the thing that I invoke
My all persistent goal
Sent to make me queasy
And oh, it's hard now
With time, it works out
To be human is to love
Even when it gets too much
I'm not ready to give up
To be human is to love
Even when it gets too much
I'm not ready to give up
All the tigers have me now
I don't care, I hear them howl
I let them tear right through me (whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Can you help me not to care?
Every breath comes a prayer
Take this pain from me
And oh, you're so far now
So far from my arms now
To be human is to love
Even when it gets too much
I'm not ready to give up
To be human is to love
Even when it gets too much
I'm not ready to give up
(hey-ay-ay) up
To be human (woo-ooh)
To be human (woo-ooh)
To be human
Just 'cause I predicted this
Doesn't make it any easier to live with
And what's the point of knowin' it
If you can't change it, you can't change, can't change it
Just 'cause I predicted this
Doesn't make it any easier to live with
And what's the point of knowin' it
If you can't change it, you can't change, can't change it
To be human is to love
Even when it gets too much
I'm not ready to give up
To be human is to love
Even when it gets too much
There's no reason to give up
No---, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Don't give up
No oh, no oh-oh-oh-oh
Don't give up
