Human, for a Minute

Well, just for today

We can wish away fate

And welcome the moment at hand

Whether it is deserved

May it be left undisturbed

Just for a second of peace

And as I count all my foes

Distinguished and closed

Is how I hope they remain

For this life is too long

And this world has been wronged

By sinners and saints and more

Just for today

Just for today

Why don't you stay

Just for today?

I watch my bones dry and shatter

For what purpose do they serve?

I don't feel that I can keep them

I don't feel that I deserve

To feel human for an hour

Or even for a minute

While I'm crying with the saints

And I'm laughing with the sinners

So

Just for today

Just for today

Why don't you stay

Just for today?

And I never felt human

I never felt human before

I never felt human

I never felt human before

And I never felt human before you

I never felt human before you

I never felt human before you

I never felt human before you arrived

Before you arrived

Before you arrived

Before you arrived

And I'm half the man I should be

And I'm half the man I should be

And I'm half the man I should be

Can't you see?

Can't you see?

That I'm half the man I should be

I'm half the man I should be

I'm half the man I should be

You never see
