Mraz, Jason - Only Human Lyrics






A squirrel in the tree is he watching me
Does he give a damn?
Does he care who I am?
I'm just a man, is that all I am
Are my manners misinterpreted words or only human?
I'm human

Murderous crow, hey what you know
What you reading about, what you hold in your toes
Is that a twig, are you a dove of peace
A black dove undercover, with another puzzle piece
Are you a riddle to solve all along?
Or am I over thinking thoughts of human after all

Only human
Made of flesh, made of sand, made of human
The planet's talking about a revolution
The natural laws ain't got no constitution
They've got a right to live their own life
But we keep paving over paradise

'Cause we're only human
Yes we are, only human
If it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep on being only human
Yes we are, yes we are
Only human, only human, only human
So far:

Up in the major's tree, the one he planted back when he was just a boy
Back in 1923
Thirty meters and a foot, take a look, take a climb
What you'll find is the product of a seed
The seed is sown, all alone
It grows above, with a heart of love
Sharp and shelter of the animals of land and cold weather breathing
We're all breathing in

The planet's talking about a revolution
The natural laws ain't got no constitution
They've got a right to live their own life
But we keep paving over paradise

'Cause we're only human
Yes we are, only human
If it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep on being only human
Yes we are, only human, only human, so far, so far

And this place it will outlive me
Before I get to heaven I'll climb that tree
And I will have to give my thanks
For giving me the branch to swing on
If I ever fall in love
I'll have to give myself a baby
I will let my children have their way

'Cause we're only human, yes we are
Only human, so far, so far

    All of a sudden this verse cuts me really deep, as if listening to it for the first time:
    "The planet's talking 'bout a revolution
    The natural laws ain't got no constitution
    They've got a right to live their own life
    But we keep paving over paradise"

  6. C.... K....

    my voice hurt when i song this. WORTH IT!

  18. W.... O....

    Fresh song :D

  19. B.... ....

    Stop groveling. It's sad.

  20. L.... K....

    Some people focus on all the wrong things. Jason illustrates all the RIGHT things.

  21. N.... R....

    Listen to the amazing lyrics, stop talking about him smoking weed. A lot of people smoke weed, it's not a big deal. People know that it's not harming anyone and it makes you happy, so whatever.

    N.... R....

    Neon Roses i love smoking weed though i cant because im in The navy poo.... but my wife smokes it for her pain :D

  22. C.... S....

    Jason Mraz in an interview told a story where he got Charged with Possesion of Marijuana and why does it matter anyway. Nothing wrong with a little weed

  23. K.... P....

    Kat is definitively right ......Farm Aid 2011 I smoked with Jason and Toca ..... So lover o fat igerChild if that is your name....just chill ... sounds like you need the god given herb o fat igerChild

  24. L.... ....

    You lie, bitch.

  25. s.... ....

    OH MY GOD. YOU ARE A JUSTIN NOZUKA FAN. PEOPLE WITH GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC UNITE!

  26. S.... ....

    Thats because....youre only human.

  27. A.... P....

    Yeah, I noticed now. Wow I can't believe the comment I made was 1 year ago, time ticks away, whoa.

  28. R.... B....

    he does smoke pot... but not as much as marley did.

  29. S.... ....

    He does pot.

    S.... ....

    SinSlate who cares bud, honestly

  30. N.... .....

    Jason Mraz is either the best thing to happen to modern music or he is the best thing to happen to modern music on pot. Lots of great people did drugs, maybe that's what inspired them.

  31. l.... ....

    Murderous crow, hey what you know
    What you reading about, what you hold in your toes
    Is that a twig, are you a dove of peace
    A black dove undercover, with another puzzle piece
    Are you a riddle to solve all along?
    Or am I over thinking thoughts of human after all
    Only human
    Made of flesh, made of sand, made of you and me
    The planet's talking about a revolution
    The natural laws ain't got no constitution
    They've got a right to live their own life
    But we keep paving over paradise!!!!! :D
    love it


  32. t.... ....

    yeah....i'm pretty sure he smokes

  33. f.... ....

    Doesn't do pot? This....surprises me. He references it in his gypsy MC song.

  34. A.... C....

    I love the lyric...
    "We keep paving over paradise"

  35. E.... ....

    Amazing song...

  36. T.... ....

    @Destrolocklols Hahahaha, silly rabbit... Jason Mraz does infact enjoy the occasional doobie.

  37. A.... S....

    wtf give myself a baby....no...To all you people building families...strive on...you are the gift of this world....stop the lies...money is a lie

  38. I.... �....

    @yessirrom86 Nice..

  39. B.... S....

    just because bob marley was a rasta man doesnt mean that mr.az dont smoke pot. i smoke and am not a rasta.

  40. R.... Z....

    @Destrolocklols lol you really think jason doesnt do pot?

  41. C.... ....

    why is it only showing my views? :(

  42. B.... G....

    @ Destrolocklols lets just hope nobody tries to kill Jason too

  43. S.... ....

    11 individuals are not humans =p
    I love the lyrics of this song, it is so beautiful and so real, that I find impossible not to feel connected to this song

  44. A.... ....

    Mraz may do pot, or he might not.
    Who cares?

    Afterall he's only human! Just enjoy his music!

  45. F.... ....

    My 1st time hearing this song shopping in a store in 2011! Super dope! Had to look it up immediately! iTunes bound!

  46. T.... ....

    @Destrolocklols Jason of course do pot broo!

  47. P.... S....

    @Destrolocklols Mraz was arrestet for pot posession some time ago,.... but who cares man ? never drunk a zip of alkohol ? what ? you did !?!?,..... so just leave the rest of us in peace, smoking our weed.It's not like we're talking about hard drugs here.

  48. E.... R....

    11 people aren't human :l

  49. R.... R....

    Made of flesh, made of sand, made of human. :)

  50. A.... P....

    I meant it, not to inspire himself.
    Some artists just have a lack of imagination, so they let flow the hallucinations to get ideas. He doesn't really need pot for inspiration.

  51. p.... ....

    @Destrolocklols you have been misinformed about mr jason mraz...he does smoke pot (check out his song cannabis college). Yeah he's open about it too.

  52. S.... G....

    @xGamexOverxx I think bottled soul alone would be worth a pretty good sum xD

  53. k.... ....

    In every ocean on the planet, there is an enormous continent-sized area of plastic waste called a gyre. Theses gyres are mostly consistant of dissolved plastic, so the whole mass is not always visible. Fish, plankton, birds, and other sealife consume microscopic pieces of plastic in the water and feel full because of it, then die of malnutrition because they don't want to eat. Mind you, the vast majority of these debris are not even litter, just plastic that blows off of trucks and such.

  54. g.... ....

    @ValPalKellster Ive always loved this song but i never knew that! haha(:

  55. V.... ....

    @FUUPTHEA its about being a vegan :)

  56. V.... ....

    I hope you all realize this is about his veganism....

  57. p.... ....

    they have a right to live their own lives, but we keep pavin over paradise....

  58. B.... L....

    @Oaggymnast00 i was being sarcastic haha

  59. O.... ....

    @masterpepai dont be naive he totally smokes pot!

  60. C.... ....

    i saw him in concert he sang this song omg ive been listning to him since i was 5

  61. y.... ....

    This is the future, poetry combined with an unique philosophical point of view which breathes truth and respires soul. Learn, listen, enjoy, and be inspired to find your inner genius, no matter the form. After all were only human... for now! Thanks Jason.

  62. B.... L....

    he doesnt do pot??! =p

  63. a.... ....

    o my goodness when i listen to him its like i cant get enough :)

  74. H.... ....

    THIS ^^^ and The Dynamo of Volition are my favorite songs by Jason!

  75. C.... M....

    I love Jason Mraz, his songs motivate me to do what I have to to be a good person. This song especially has a great meaning and I wish more people would listen to him and take a little of his words to heart. Jason Mraz deserves more recognition then he gets. He is a breath of fresh air in the conceited generic music scene of today!

  76. N.... ....

    To me, this beats rap anyday

  77. M.... S....

    Why is he the only real musician who writes about real things?? He is such a genius. Forget all that generic pop crap, this is REAL music.

  78. r.... ....
