Becoming Human
by Carolyn Arends, The McCrary Sisters

Album: Becoming Human - Single

You know Pinocchio had a nose for deception
And I think it s understood
That you re doomed from the start if you re following a heart
That is only made of wood
And it s the trickiest thing in the whole wide world
To be a real live boy or a real live girl

Becoming human is hard
It s near impossible
Becoming human is hard
It takes a miracle

You know that old King Lear had a fear of rejection
And I guess it s pretty clear
That you re not a good king if you re only listening
To the things you want to hear
And you can rant and you can rave and you can fret and fuss
But you ll just grow older without growing up

Chorus

It seems we all arrive with a drive for protection
And we learn to wear these masks
Till it s hard to believe that we ever can be free
To become ourselves at last
But it s the most important thing in the whole wide world
To be a real live boy or a real live girl

Becoming human is hard
But not impossible
Becoming human is hard
It takes a miracle

Becoming human is hard
The work is deep and slow
Becoming human is hard
It takes a miracle
I need a miracle
Send me my miracle
