Why don't I just come out and say what's really happening?
Why do I hide behind the words that never say a thing?
I think it's best to begin at the beginning
Stop staying silent on the things that I feel
I've got some questions that set my spirit spinning
It's time for me to open up and really got real
Constant confrontations with every good and evil
Convince that I can't control my circumstance
But sitting on the sidelines is not the right solution
I've got to learn to risk myself, I've got to take the chance
I don't really understand why I waste my breath
Tossing words in the air that don't mean a thing
If I'm not okay and you're not okay
Then why do we say it's a fine, fine day
I gotta get to the bottom line and share it from the heart
'Cause I know that some of you have hit the floor before
So if I need you and you need me
Then say so honestly
In the interest of human survival
I'm standing up to sing this human song
I'm laying down my human nature, hey, hey
I'm raising my voice now
To sing this human song
Somebody told me that grace would help me make it
Somebody else said that love would see me through
I've come to realize I don't have all answers
And if I need someone to lean on, I'll be looking for you
I don't really understand why I waste my breath
Tossing words in the air that don't mean a thing
If I'm not okay and you're not okay
Then why do we say it's a fine, fine day
I gotta get to the bottom line and share it from the heart
'Cause I know that some of you have hit the floor before
So if I need you and you need me
Then say so honestly
In the interest of human survival
I'm standing up to sing this human song
I'm laying down my human nature, hey, hey
I'm raising my voice now
To sing this human song
Human song, human song, human, human
(This human song)
Human song, human song, human, human
(This human song)
Human song, human song, human, human
(This human song)
Human song, human song, human, human
(This human song)
Human song, human song, human, human
Human song, human song, human, human
In the interest of human survival
I'm standing up to sing this human song
I'm laying down my human nature, hey, hey
I'm raising my voice
In the interest of human survival
I'm standing up to sing this human song
(Standing up to sing this song)
I'm laying down my human nature, hey, hey
I'm raising my voice now
To sing this human song
Standing up to sing this human song
Raise me voice to sing this human song
