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 Pre-chorus 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 Pre-chorus 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 Bridge 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
