Peter Greenidge - More Than a Human Lyrics

I've heard too many songs
Telling me I should just feel better
That it won't be long
'Till the sun shines and I'm better
Cause that's not how it's been for me
Been so much grief, sorrow, and shame
And I'm fighting to find some light
But I'm sick of you telling me where it is
And where it's not

What do you want me to be
More than a human
I find beauty in my humanity
Not in avoiding it

I've been to hell and back again
And I still visit often
In fact, I live there most days
You'd say love your neighbor as yourself
But I always hated myself
I guess it's hard to see that on a stage
The world is such a scary place, full of sinners and big mistakes
(What do you want me to be)
Those things you should never do
(More than a human)
What you should do is separate, and your art should be family safe
(I find beauty in my humanity)
You wouldn't want to let the devil through
(Not in avoiding it)
You have to save all your friends, but if they're bad don't hang out with them
(What do you want me to be)
They've chosen their path
(I'm only a human)
We can love and not like them, the gays and the addicts
(Since when was that a bad thing)
God forbid you become like that
(I'm not more than a human)

Well if there is a god
I've seen it in how I'm human
I've seen them in the art
You told me to avoid
I see her in the people
You taught me I should hate
Sometimes I'd swear I've seen God everywhere
Except where you said he'd be
