When your friend dies.
When your brother's lost.
When the sun sets.
When the snow melts.
When war uprises.
When soldiers got their guns.
When the people say no.
When the slaves are let go.
We all feel it.
We all see it.
It's something about being human.
We all know it.
We all take it.
It's something about being alive.
When the world shakes.
When the rain drops--
your face gets wet.
Are you crying or not?
When the stars come ablaze
When a mother gives birth.
When lovers make love.
When the sun stretches its rays.
When you touch my skin.
When wine thins my blood.
When you say you love me,
you've created a heaven for us.
We all feel it.
We all see it.
It's something about being human.
We all know it.
We all want it.
It's something about being alive.
