In shanty towns, on ghetto streets Where mad dogs fight while the children sleep In border camps for refugees A voice cries out from the wind We're only human, flesh and blood On desert plains, in burnt-out lands Where young and old hold out their hands And war machines have razed the land A voice cries out from the sand We're only human, flesh and blood I sit alone, a silent scream Broken dream, a memory It all comes back to you and me I know that deep in my soul We're only human flesh and blood
