Human is a considerate, moving song about the affects of human behaviour on global warming, climate change, social injustice and human rights. It asks, "Can you make a difference?" The answer is a hopeful yes The song features the artist's son.

lyrics

TV says bees are endangered.
It’s critical now.
Glaciers melt down. Waters rising.
Can you see how?
What’s happening here?
Do you even care?
It’s all going south.
Where’s the hope for us?

Draw near (Human)
Draw near (Human)
Draw near (Human)
It’s reaching a boiling point

Cities crowded in for the dollar
Where’s a room for us?
Little girls cry out for their mother
Will you heed their call?
Plastics piled higher and higher.
Air is thick with dirt.
Can you breathe it all in?
Can you breathe it all out?

Draw near (Human)
Draw near (Human)
Draw near (Human)
It’s reaching a boiling point
Draw near (Human)
Draw near (Human)
Draw near (Human)
It’s reaching a boiling point

Don’t burn it all down
Don’t burn it all down
Don’t burn it all down
It’s reaching a boiling point

Dirty needles lay in the street.
It’s epidemic.
Homeless people stand in the heat
Searching for a meal.
Can you make a difference?
How do you help?
Can you get outside yourself?
For a moment?

Draw near (Human)
Draw near (Human)
Draw near (Human)
It’s reaching a boiling point
Draw near (Human)
Draw near (Human)
Draw near (Human)
It’s reaching a boiling point

BRIDGE
Draw near to me.
Face the future with me.
Don’t escape this reality.
Hand in hand we can make it right.
Don’t place the blame elsewhere.
We all had a hand in this.
We made a choice to ignore it all.
What words can you say, at the end of the day?

CHORUS
Draw near (Human)
Draw near (Human)
Draw near (Human)
It’s reaching a boiling point
Draw near (Human)
Draw near (Human)
Draw near (Human)
It’s reaching a boiling point

Don’t burn it all down
Don’t burn it all down
Don’t burn it all down
It’s reaching a boiling point…
