Being Human |
Words and music by Cliff Rubin
Verse
I’ve walked across fire
Been healed by the rain
Spoken my deepest desire
To a stranger I never saw again
Been down the road less traveled
Meditated till my spirit soared
Jumped out a plane from 15,000 feet
Sat in the desert 4 days without food or water
Chorus
I thought I’d be more enlightened
After all I’ve been through
Thought I’d be more mature, take it all with a grain of salt
Instead of getting caught up like others do
Being human
Verse
I’m kinder than I used to be
Stop to smell a rose, enjoy the view
Don’t get upset at every little thing
Take time to breathe, take time to think of you
Chorus
Still, I thought I’d be more enlightened
Flying high all the time
Above the petty stuff, swimming in nothing but love
Helping those who still have it rough
Instead of getting tangled up
Being human
Bridge
I’ve loved every adventure
Ah the stories I get to tell
All made real by the depth of the feelings I have felt
Being human
Tag
We are spiritual beings living a human experience (repeated till end)
Enjoy the ride, with its lows and highs
Being human

I like very much especially the chorus, that really hit a chord for me! I guess we keep working at it, being human that is, love the song.

A celebration of who we are…ever more aware, and compassionate if it appears otherwise! Very enjoyable. Very happy!

Cliff,
“Being Human” tells us all that living our spiritual principles in our humaness is what being human is all about. We are here to grow and expand our spiritual beingness in human form by experiencing the contrast and you have nailed it for me in this song. Your message is clear that it is not about a destination but about the journey and how we respond to our opportunities for growth and expansion.
In Oneness and Love,
Rev. Frank Kish

Once again, you amaze and delight, by putting it all together, and being human. An astounding, YES for the next CD. In light and love, Nina.

Hi Cliff,
Did you sing it once at the Center? It sounds familiar to me.
Love it. But then I love pretty much all of your music. Keep up the great work!
Love,
Pam
