Description

From The Ink Thief, episode 4 ("Earth, Cheese and Air"). Written by Adrian Lee. Copyright 1994 ITC. Lyrics:

I am not what I should be
Not yet, anyway
I'm not what I could be
But soon, any day
You see, I've been praying for the day I'd find a way
I'm praying for the day when I could say
I'm only human
Only human

I am not like you
And you're not like me
But a lot like you
(But a lot like you)
I have just got to be
Yes, I've been praying for the day I'd find a way
And I'm praying for the day when I can say
I'm only human
(Only human)
Only human

Will I lose what I have?
Do I get more?
Am I on the right path?
Will I ever be sure?

Well, I'm paying for the day in any way
Paying for the day when I could say
Ooooh, I'm only human
Only human
Only human
Only human
(Human)

The first time I say it
I'll probably cry
But say it, I will
Like a regular guy
Cuz I've got a heart
And I've got a soul
I've got a head start
Whoa, and I'm on a roll!

And I'm praying
Praying
(Praying for the day when I can say)
I'm only human
Only human
I'm only human
(Only human)
Just a human
(Only human)
I'm only human
(Only human)
Just a human
(Only human)
A simple man
