Lyrics
Human
– words and music by Kat McDowell
It’s just one of those days
I don’t want to get out of bed
I just want to curl up and shut out
All the voices in my head
Yesterday’s dragged in to another day
I want to leave it behind and cut the line
But I am holding rope instead
*If Butterflies don’t need to be taught how to fly
Then surely I can forgive you
And if you and I can put all our differences aside then
Surely we can be human*
This cup I’m drinking from is killing me
I have to find a new well, to break this spell
Of bitterness hung over me
The bitter cloud hung over me.
*Chorus
Ooohh..
If birds in the sky,
Can spread out their wings and know how to fly,
Then surely I know how to love you.
If you and I can put all these differences aside
Then surely we can be human
日本語訳
こういう日もあるさ
起きたくなくて
毛布に埋まって掻き消したい
頭の中を駆け巡る声を
昨日が持ち越して今日になる
置き去りにして区切りをつけたい
でも、手放せなくて
蝶が学ばずとも飛べるように
私もあなたを許せるはずさ
お互いの違いを横に置けば
人間らしくなれるはず
飲んでたのは毒だったのね
新しい井戸をみつけなきゃ
苦い魔法が解けて
雲が晴れるように
鳥が翼広げれば飛べるように
私もあなたを愛せるはずさ
お互いの違いを横に置けば
人間らしくなれるはず
