"One Human Being" lyrics

We were trying to draw the stars into our own constellations
Make the universe into a kinder kind of creation
My kid says to change the world first change the way you're seeing
But I'm still mowing shapes in the grass to let aliens know we need 'em
And lately I've been feeling like I don't know how you're feeling
This whole thing's out of my control, except one human being

I've been watching classic films to see how decent people were
But movies' happy endings come by skipping all the work
And I don't care if you call me a fool for hoping for more than I'm seeing
But something tells me we were made for more than we are being
But I can only love you if I first learn to love me and
This whole thing's out of my control except one human being

Two years ago I dug a hole and buried myself in the pit
Now I'm afraid to dig up the seed and see what came of it
When it comes to human potential I guess I have high expectations
The limit to the universe is my imagination
And the story goes that Adam and Eve left the garden out of fear
Maybe humans never left and we are all still here

The truth is gonna set you free, or so the sages tell
The truth is gonna set you free but first it hurts like hell
