"I Am a Human (Being Myself)"
Words & Music by James Nihan
I was born a wayward child
From the moment I could walk I was running wild
I wouldn't bend, I wouldn't lean
Slow to show forgiveness, I was quick to make a scene
Always had to reinvent the wheel
Do it on my own or drag my heels
Whatever caught my eye, I wanted more
Not satisfied by what I had before
Chorus:
I am a human, I make mistakes
Sometimes something changes, sometimes something breaks
Play with fire, you might get burned
Or you might see the blessin' in the lesson that you learned
I'm not so different from anyone else
I am a human
I am a human being
I am a human being myself
Heaven knows I have my faults
I stepped on so many toes in life's precious waltz
The music played and when it died
I'd be ten miles down the road instead of by your side
Just a sad fair-weather kind of friend
And not the truest lover in the end
Listening to the voices in my head
Missing what my heart might have said
(Repeat Chorus)
I am a human
A human being --- myself
