Lyrics
The pagodas and the palaces –
dressed in gold leaf, hide the damages.
Spot the geisha as she balances.
Life is a cakewalk full of challenges.
Go to Russia, see the red square –
Lenin’s body lying dead there.
From Kyoto to Hiroshima,
watch the black clouds crawl nearer.
There were riots in America
just when things were getting better.
All the things that I’ve done and I’ve seen,
still, I don’t know what life means.
All the people living in,
living in the world today.
We’re united by our love.
We’re united by our pain.
All the things that I’ve done and I’ve seen,
Still, I don’t know,
don’t know what it means.
Fly to Athens, past the Parthenon,
and see the village where my father is from.
To Chicago, from Angola,
São Paulo, to Verona.
And anywhere you go you see:
people are just like you and me.
All the things that I’ve done and I’ve seen,
still, I don’t know what life means.
All the people living in,
living in the world today.
We’re united by our love.
We’re united by our pain.
All the things that I’ve done and I’ve seen,
Still, I don’t know,
don’t know what it means
to be human.
Still, I don’t know,
don’t know what it means
to be human,
a real human being.
I like to think about
how we all look from afar;
people driving fancy cars
look like beetles to the stars.
The missiles and the bombs sound
like symphonies gone wrong.
And if there is a God,
they’ll know why it’s so hard
to be human.
Still, I don’t know,
don’t know what it means
to be human,
a real human being.
I want connection.
I want to feel human again.
I’ve lost my direction.
I want to feel human again.
