He's 12 years old today
Should be playing football with his mates
Instead he's walking through the city streets alone
Midday sun burning
He's freezing cold
There's a bomb strapped onto his chest
They called him hero as he left
But his brothers don't see him now
He's just a shell
Ticket to heaven, exit from hell
Eyes locked onto the ground
Feet like cement blocks
It takes everything to keep on moving
Breathe in try to breathe out
You're not to blame now
You're only a human
Only a human
Only a human
Daisies bloom on her skin
He only gives her flowers with his fists
She says, ‘one day I'm gonna leave this all behind
Cause if this is living, I'd rather die'
Eyes locked onto the ground
Feet like cement blocks
It takes everything to keep on moving
Breathe in try, to breathe out
You're not to blame now
You're only a human
Only a human
Only a human
What kind of life is this
I keep my head down
I keep my head down
I'm moving so I don't have to see anything
I keep my head down
I keep my head down
What kind of life is this
I keep my head down
I keep my head down
I'm moving so I don't have to see anything
I keep my head down
I keep my head down
Eyes locked onto the ground
Feet like cement blocks
It takes everything to keep on moving
Breathe in try, to breathe out
I'm not to blame now
I'm only a human
Only a human
Only a human
Only a human
Only a human
