Official Lyrics:

I know what I know what I know what I know what I know
not many things I know but I know what I know and I’ll grow

there was a time when I was low so low so low
but that’s the time when I had to show

I got a heart that’s primal
cause I need your love for my survival
life’s got me on trial
I confess I’ve been messed up
in denial


because this is what means to be human
I don’t know much but I know this much is true
this is what means to be human
I don’t know much but i know that I hurt as much as you

I go where I go where I go where I go where I go
I’m a foreigner everywhere I roam

but I see in you what I see in myself
it’s written in the marrow of my bones

I got a heart that’s primal cos i need your love for my survival
life’s got me on trial (there’s nowhere else I’d rather be)
I confess I’ve been messed up in denial (till the bright lights come for me)

because this is what means to be human
I don’t know much but I know this much is true
this is what means to be human I don’t know much but I know that I hurt as much as you

I got a heart that’s primal
this is what means to be human
I don’t know much but I know this much is true
this is what means to be human
I don’t know much but I know that I hurt as much as you
