"To Be Human - Marina”
The pagodas ​[0]​ __​and__ ​the palaces
dressed in gold leaf
Hide the damages
Spot the Geisha as she balances
Life's a cakewalk, full ​[1]​.........
challenges
Go​[2]​........ Russia, see the Red Square
Lenin's body lying dead there
From Kyoto, Hiroshima
Watch the black cloud crawling nearer
There were riots ​[3]​ ….…... America
Just ​[4]​........... things were getting
better
All ​[5]​ …….……. things I've done and seen
Still I don't know what life means
Chorus​:
All the people living in, living in the world
today
Reunited ​[6]​........ our love, reunited by
our pain (ooh)
All the things that I've done and I've seen
Still I don't know, don't know what it
means
Fly to Athens, pass the Parthenon
See the village ​[7]​ ……….…. my father's
from
To Chicago, from Angola
São Paulo to Verona
And anywhere you go, you'll see (o-o-oh)
People are just ​[8]​ ……..... you and me
(o-o-o-o-o-o-oh)
All the things I've done and seen
Still I don't know what life means
Repeat ​chorus
To be human
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh,
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh)
Still I don't know, don't know what it
means
To be human, a real human being
I like to think ​[9]​............ how we all look
from afar
People driving fancy cars ​[10]​.......... like
beetles to the stars
The missiles and the bombs sound like
symphonies gone wrong
And if there is a God they'll know why it's
so hard
To be human
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh,
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh)
To be hu-
Still, I don't know, don't know what it
means
To be human, a real human being
To be human, I want direction
I wanna feel human again
To be human, lost my direction
I wanna feel human again
To be human, to be human
To be human, to be human
