I'm A Human Being Lyrics

Sandi Thom I'm A Human Being

There are six and a half billion souls
I believe to be breathing you can love them you can leave them
They're walking and talking up and down all around this world
There are six and a half billion dreams
From London to New York, New York to Beijing
Every man every woman every boy and every girl.

There are six and a half billion beliefs
But in the end we're the same underneath
Every different shape or size
If you're strong or if you're wise
It's all beautiful
There are six and a half billion lives
Some are laughing some are crying
Some are living some are dying
If you're small or ten feet tall
If you're strange if you're weird you're wonderful.
(Chorus)
I'm a human being, i'm a living loving breathing
I'm not a dumb machine no i'm a walking talking dreaming
And I know what it means, but I know what I believe in
I believe in love and I love being a human being.

There are six and a half billion songs,
Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder and the Rolling Stones
If you're straight or if you're drunk
If you're hippy or a punk, get musical.
There are six and a half billion hearts
Some are keeping it together some are falling apart
Some are good, some are bad
Happy and sad, they're loveable.

(Chorus)

There are six and a half billion minds
Thinking and inventing and changing times
Making up the grades and turning the pages in history.
There are six and a half billion pairs of feet
Walking to the sound of the drummers beat
They go hop skip and jump, thumping in time
Sing 1,2,3...
(Chorus)
