lyrics

Nice evening for a dance
Won't you lend this old friend a hand?
There's a sun that is setting
Across this old desert
And there's no place that I'd rather be..
In this wide, wide world
On the stage where it's all been done
On the planet that held everything that you love
Then just spit it back into the Sun
And in time, we'll all set sail
On a wave that will save the whole world
So that truth lives on
And our kids live the dreams
That we know we have won..
But it's kind of weird out there
In a world where there's so much
And there's still so many people living with nothing
And there's children starving and dying..

In this wide, wide world
On the stage where it's all been done
In the garden that grew everyone that you love
Then just put them back into the ground
In this wide, wide world
On the stage where it's all been done before
In this wide, wide world
On the planet we owe everything that we got
So how did we do this
When we were young and not so smart?
But we weren't so tired, busy, lonely, in-love,
bored, and overwhelmed all at the same time..
It's hard being human
When the love that's in your heart
It don't do nothing to all of those bills adding up
Every month they come higher and higher..
It's hard being human
When the boss says, "Here's your life"
And the only thing that you ever was out searching for
Is the one thing you never did find..
Some peace of mind in all this
And I still think back to the time when we
Thought that nothing's impossible
And all those things that hold us back
From who we are
We could see through it all
We could see through it all
We could see through it all
In this wide, wide world
On the stage where it's all been done
In this wide, wide world
On the planet we owe everything that we got
In this wide, wide world
On the stage where it's all been done
You will know you're home
There's a place at the table we held the whole time.
It's hard being human..
