One Human Being

We were trying to draw the stars into our own constellations

Make the universe into a kinder kind of creation

My kid says to change the world first change the way you're seeing

But I'm still mowing shapes in the grass to let aliens know we need them

And lately I've been feeling like I don't know how you're feeling

This whole thing's out of my control, except one human being

I've been watching classic films to see how decent people were

But movies' happy endings come by skipping all the work

I don't care if you call me a fool for hoping for more than I'm seeing

But something tells me we were made for more than we are being

But I can only love you if I first learn to love me and
