Human Song - Intellectual

Why don't I just come out and say what's really happening?

Why do I hide behind the words that never say a thing?

I think it's best to begin at the beginning

Stop staying silent on the things that I feel

I've got some questions that set my spirit spinning

It's time for me to open up and really got real

Constant confrontations with every good and evil

Convince that I can't control my circumstance

But sitting on the sidelines is not the right solution

I've got to learn to risk myself, I've got to take the chance

I don't really understand why I waste my breath

Tossing words in the air that don't mean a thing

If I'm not okay and you're not okay

Then why do we say it's a fine, fine day

I gotta get to the bottom line and share it from the heart

'Cause I know that some of you have hit the floor before

So if I need you and you need me

Then say so honestly

In the interest of human survival

I'm standing up to sing this human song

I'm laying down my human nature, hey, hey

I'm raising my voice now

To sing this human song

Somebody told me that grace would help me make it

Somebody else said that love would see me through

I've come to realize I don't have all answers

And if I need someone to lean on, I'll be looking for you
