The Relic & Embrionyc - What Is It To Be Human? lyrics

What is it to be human?

What is staying alive? To possess
A great hall inside of a cell
What is it to know? The same root
Underneath the branches

What is it to believe? Being a carer
Until relief takes over
And to forgive? On fours through thorns
To keep company to an old enemy

What is it to sing? To receive breath
From the genius of creation
What's work but humming a song
From wood and wheat

What are state affairs? A craft
That's still only crawling?
And armaments? Thrust a knife
In a baby's fist

Being a nation? What can it be? A gift
In the swell of the heart
And to love a country? Keeping house
In a cloud of witnesses

What's the world to the all powerful?
A circle spinning
And to the children of the earth?
A cradle rocking

What is it to be human?

What is staying alive?

What is it to be human? (What is it to be human? [?x])

Being a nation? What can it be? A gift
In the swell of the heart
And to love a country? Keeping house
In a cloud of witnesses

What's the world to the all powerful?
A circle spinning
And to the children of the earth?
A cradle rocking
