Get up in the mornin', go to sleep at night
Some things I do without thinkin'
But try as I may to get it all that right
I've got this feelin' that's sinkin'
And nobody knows any better than those
Who search the world in vain
That it's suddenly clear how you ended up here
In roads up on the plains
It always happens
It always gets worse
'Cause it's hard to a human in the universe
In the universe, in the universe
Took a vacation and changed my name
Some things I do to get even
Though my back was breakin', my excuse was lame
But who could blame me for leavin'
A man on my block's callin' out to his flock
He says we're doomed to crack
I cover my ears and my ship reappears
And there's no turnin' back
But while I'm sailin' I'm hearin' his curse
It's hard to be a human in the universe
In the universe, in the universe
But it's my sworn testimony
I will be there always for you
I'll give up all the glory
Take your hand and lead you through it first
'Cause it's hard to be a human in the universe
Black and white people in a black and white world
I'm born to that generation
I've learned my lessons, I'm a move ahead girl
And that's the true explanation
'Cause anyone sees that with a couple of keys
The pieces seem to fit
I used to be stuck but now I'm pushin' my luck
And haven't time to quit
I've been busy I've got to rehearse
'Cause it's hard to a human in the universe
In the universe, in the universe
Hard to a human in the universe
In the universe, in the universe, in the universe
Hard to a human in the universe
