Erik Mason - Only Human

She walks down Broadway all alone tonight
She wonders to herself if she'll be alright
It feels like another wasted day
Selling prints in the subway
Taking home the meager sum she's made
There's so much more she'd rather do
But didn't get the chance she needed
To make her dreams come true

But all these faces
Go different places
And never think about any of this
And who can blame 'em
They're only human
It's how we raise 'em

He holds his key and turns it to the right
His daughters run to him and wrap around him tight
He's been gone three weeks on the road
Driving loads from coast to coast
Making sure his family stays afloat
But lately, he's been sleeping less
From all the talk of driverless
What would he do then?

But all these faces
Go different places
And never think about any of this
And who can blame 'em
They're only human
It's how we raise 'em to be

So quick to have a say
So sure we know the way
'Cause after all it's what our favorite papers say
But through another's eyes we never try to see
But that's how we raise 'em
It's how we raise 'em to be

We celebrated all the things we knew
Beneath our window someone slept out in the snow
I finally stopped and tried to see
Why we lived so differently
People say it's 'cause I worked harder than he
But maybe they would get a clue
If they could see his point of view
Think of all that they would do
If they knew

So quick to have a say
So sure we know the way
'Cause after all it's what our favorite papers say
But through another's eyes we never try to see
But that's how we raise 'em
It's how we raise 'em to be

It's how we raise 'em to be
