Well I was human when I woke up this morning
But I'm not sure what I am at the end of the day
I took a long walk down down a short cut
Till I made sure that I had completely lost my way
There are places that you find yourself
That you never want to remind yourself
Was somewhere that you ever allowed yourself...
                                                  ...­...to stray
So when  you look back - at the tracks you left
You try to distract yourself
From thinking it would have ever been
A good place for you to stay

I'm not sure you're qualified
To be the judge
That you've denied  
Is someone that can be relied...on
To go the distance
Without the resistance
That seems to be a big part
Of the human condition
Where they so often give up
Halfway through the mission
Backtracking always lacking
The fortitude
To keep on cracking

Once the going gets hard
They simply discard
Any values they confessed
That they had once possessed
As if they were only rehearsing
The act of being ....a good person

I'm not sure the protocol
What to do when you fall ....short
Of your own expectation
That were never anything ....except
Your own creations

The stumbling blocks
Life on the rocks
Where nobody listens
And everybody talks and talks and talks

So I think I was human
When I woke up this morning
Then the crisis started
Without Any warning
When I had to interact with entities
That just do as they please
Who think they're entitled to circumvent
What is to the rest of us ....the realities
Of living life as a human being

Open to the opinions of others
And looking deep into their world
To try and visualize
What it is that they're seeing

Do that and at
     The end of the day
You may ......
You may ..still...be human!
