Lyrics It's Hard To Be A Human Being - Eric Hirshberg

I asked a friend
Who's a little bit older than me
Does it ever get easier?
Do you ever feel free?
He just smiled and said
I'm a little bit older than you
And I don't know if this'll help
But I can tell you that I'm still waiting too
It isn't fair
And it isn't you
It's just the right thing is almost always
The harder thing to do

Let down your guard
You're just finally seeing
That it's hard to be a human being
You've got scars
But the scars are freeing
'Cause it's hard to be a human being

It's hard to sleep
It's hard to wake up too
Sometimes it's hard not to lie
And even harder just to know what's true
It's hard to know what you need
Even then, it's hard to find
It's even harder to stop the voices
That are always criticizing you in your mind
It's hard not knowing
What happens after we die
Sometimes it's hard not to laugh
And sometimes it's harder not to cry

Let down your guard
You're just finally seeing
That it's hard to be a human being
You've got scars
But the scars are freeing
'Cause it's hard to be a human being
