Stavesacre On Being A Human
When I was a boy I wanted to be a man
Ran ahead before I could ever truly understand
Want and need
What should and what could be
And the cost of what was incomplete
You gotta know this
Don'tcha know what I mean
You can't get around the inside the fundamental need
To try
You are whom you've got to fight
To be complete
To be
To be a human being
To be a human being
To be a human being
Now that I am old what is man but a breath
Shuttered at the soul and holding on to what is left
Or did what could be
Find it's way inside beyond the fight to be complete
You gotta know this
Don'tcha know what I mean
You can't get around the inside the fundamental need
To try
You are whom you've got to fight
To be complete
To be
To be a human being
If one day you hear the news
And you're wondering if it's all true
Rest assured that I am worse than anything that you have heard
You can't get around the inside the fundamental need
To try
You are whom you've got to fight
To be complete
To be
To be a human being
To be
To be a human being
You gotta know this
Don'tcha know what I mean
