Why don't I just come out
And say what's really happening?
Why do I hide behind the words
That never say a thing?
I think it's best
To begin at the beginning
Stop staying silent
On the things that I feel
I've got some questions
That set my spirit spinning
It's time to open up
And really got real
Constant confrontations
With every good and evil
Convince that I can't control
My circumstance
But sitting on the sidelines
Is not the right solution
I've got to learn to risk myself
I've got to take the chance
Bridge:
I don't really understand
Why I waste my breath
Tossing words in the air
That don't mean a thing
If I'm not okay
And you're not okay
Then why do we say
It's a fine, fine day
I gotta get to the bottom line
And share it from the heart
Cause I know that some of you
Have hit the floor before
So if I need you
And you need me
Then say so honestly
Chorus:
In the interest of human survival
I'm standing up
To sing this human song
I'm laying down my human nature
I'm raising my voice now
To sing this human song
Somebody told me
That grace would help me make it
Somebody else said
That love would see me through
I've come to realize
I don't have all answers
And if I need someone to lean on
I'll be looking for you
