This Humanness

You tell me that you need me, then you walk away

The words inside my head are not the things I say

The grass all wet with dew, the light reflecting me in you

But still we cannot see

This humanness in us

Can we take it, can we make it

Something beautiful to touch?

Is there life beyond the sky?

Does it matter if we fly?

Or is it enough to be

Simply as we are?

We are this humanness is us

And some would chase the dragon when they're feeling weak

And others hide in silence when they long to speak

The shame is just the pain, carried all these years

Lodged within the tender heart

This humanness in us

Can we take it, can we make it

Something beautiful to touch?

Is there life beyond the sky?

Does it matter if we fly?

Or is it enough to be

Simply as we are?

We are this humanness

This crazy mess

I love this humanness in us

I walk along the shore to feel the biting wind

I know that I want more, I want you to let me in

The shores outside the waves, the deeper blue

I long to find the depths of you

This humanness in us

Can we take it, can we make it

Something beautiful to touch?

Is there life beyond the sky?

Does it matter if we fly?

Or is it enough to be

Simply as we are?

This humanness in us

Can we take it, can we make it

Something beautiful to touch?

Is there life beyond the sky?

Does it matter if we fly?

Or is it enough to be

Simply as we are?

We are this humanness

This crazy mess

I love this humanness

This crazy mess, this humanness

This fucked-up crazy mess

This humanness of us
