[Verse 1]
What is it to be human?
Skin and bone and a name
What is this room around us?
Why does it feel like a flame?
I watch the day keep moving
With your keys in your hand
And every small thing matters
When you barely understand
[Pre-Chorus]
The struggle, the beauty
The pain in your chest
That quiet little smile
When you still feel blessed
I’m lost in the question
But I’m not alone
Something inside me
Keeps pulling me home
[Chorus]
What is it, what is it?
What is it to be human? (human)
Through the hurt and the wonder
We keep moving, keep moving
What is it, what is it?
What is it to be human? (human)
Even lost in the dark
There’s a quiet smile that leads me on
[Verse 2]
I saw it in your hands
On the edge of goodbye
In the way you said my name
Like you knew I might cry
In the crowd, in the silence
In the bread on the plate
In a hand on my shoulder
That arrived just too late
[Pre-Chorus]
The struggle, the beauty
The pain in your chest
That quiet little smile
When you still feel blessed
I’m lost in the question
But I’m not alone
Something inside me
Keeps pulling me home
[Chorus]
What is it, what is it?
What is it to be human? (human)
Through the hurt and the wonder
We keep moving, keep moving
What is it, what is it?
What is it to be human? (human)
Even lost in the dark
There’s a quiet smile that leads me on
[Bridge]
Maybe it’s the reaching
With shaking open hands
Maybe it’s the breaking
And learning who we are
If the answer stays hidden
I can live with that
’Cause love keeps breathing
Right where we stand
[Chorus]
What is it, what is it?
What is it to be human? (human)
Through the hurt and the wonder
We keep moving, keep moving
What is it, what is it?
What is it to be human? (human)
Even lost in the dark
There’s a quiet smile that leads me on
