lyrics

this is what it means to be human - dani el-rassi

Verse 1
Well my mumma’s getting older and it’s turned my world around
And I’ve had to re-evaluate these things that i once found
The world will keep a-changing, and older i will get
But maybe I’m too young to understand

Chorus
That this is what it means to be human
This is what it means to be here

Verse 2
This inner voice, well truth be told, it’s got a lot to say
Listening and dancing with my internal cabaret
I learnt to trust my instincts, And grow the way i can
Taking peace in who i am

Chorus
This is what it means to be human
This is what it means to be here
Take comfort in the time you’re here
And give it all you can
Cos this is what it means to be free

Verse 3
Well no one’s got the answers, that’s all part of the fun
And like ben says, these challenges are true for everyone
Don’t get caught in complications, let yourself be seen
This is what it means to be free

Chorus
This is what it means to be human
This is what it means to be here
Life will flash before your eyes
And one day you will say
To your grand kids, “this is what it means”

Bridge
I don’t know how long you’ll be around
And it hurts that my time wasted
Has worked against me now
The most painful lesson I have had to learn
Is that you won’t live forever

Chorus
But this is what it means to be human
This is what it means to be here
This is what it means to be human
This is what it means to be here

(Spoken by Ben De La Cour, Poem by Dani El-Rassi):
But the pain is not your enemy
Where there is darkness, there is light
Within light, what do we find?
It is love.
Embrace the hard times, for this is life.
This is how it goes
