What can you be thinking sometimes
Trying to show us our freedom
When all that we want's a free ride
Lord, don't it make you feel helpless I'm
sure that sometimes you get mad
Knowing we ain't all you hoped for
Knowing we're all that you had
God, but it's hard to be human
And oh, that I really am free
Oh, I know I will get what I want,
Lord, I just hope that I want what I need.
Father was smarter than you are,
He never gave us a chance
He held the reins tight in
Tower of smoke in the morning,
pillar of fire every night
He made sure that we got it right
God, but it's hard to be human
and know that I really am free
Oh, I know I will get what I want,
Lord, I just hope that I want what I need.
I have these impossible problems,
and I'm wondering what I should do.
I know you ain't gonna help me,
still I can't help loving you.
Somehow I know that you love me,
somehow that's always enough
So once more I'll shoulder my freedom
and hope that I don't screw it up
God, but it's hard to be human
and know that I really am free
Oh, I know I will get what I want,
Lord, I just hope that I want what I need.
