Marina - To Be Human lyrics

[Verse 1] The pagodas and the palaces Dressed in gold leaf hide the damages Spot the Geisha as she balances Life's a cakewalk, full of challenges Go to Russia, see the Red Square Lenin's body lying dead there From Kyoto, Hiroshima Watch the black cloud crawling nearer [Pre-Chorus 1] There were riots in America Just when things were getting better All the 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 We're united by our love, we're united by our pain All the things that I've done and I've seen Still, I don't know, don't know what it means [Verse 2] Fly to Athens, pa** the Parthenon See the village where my father's from To Chicago from Angola São Paulo to Verona [Pre-Chorus 2] And anywhere you go, you'll see People are just like you and me All the 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 We're united by our love, we're united by our pain All the things that I've done and I've seen Still, I don't know, don't know what it means To be humaaan Still, I don't know, don't know what it means To be humaaan, a real human being [Bridge] I like to think about how we all look from afar People driving fancy cars look 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 [Chorus] To be humaaan To be hu.. Still, I don't know, don't know what it means To be humaaan, a real humaaan being [Outro] (To be humaaan) I want connection, ooh I wanna feel humaaan again (To be humaaan) Lost my direction, ooh I wanna feel humaaan again To be humaaan, to be human To be humaaan, to be humaaan
