It is something about the human condition

When so immersed in ourselves, we are
Remembering not, we are not alone
Growing barriers, we do allow

Self sufficient, we tend to become
And those around us are no longer there
As with a world of private problems,we are engulfed

It is something about the human condition

When alone in this world, we feel
Though there are more than six billion souls yearning
For a sense of belonging

Thus hopeless, we go through the journey alone
and on a rampage, is the fear
That separates our soul from true happiness

It is something about the human condition

When alone, we think we are
Though love is boundless
Waiting for seekers
If we'd only be willing to find it

Lost in isolation
Is left, the beauty we can share
Because too afraid, we are
To the world, let it show

The human condition
Not the same for everyone
We think
It's inevitable to feel alone
We can't all belong
Togetherness, now there's something wrong

Yet tears, we all cry
And smiles, we all show

It's something about the human condition
We all share
