Lord You Made Us Human

(album: I Concentrate On You - 1960)

Lord, you made us human
Why should I complain
You gave me a heart, you gave me a soul
And you tried to give me a brain

Lord, you made us human
What a trick to play
On this lovely world of ours
Why do you want to treat us this way

I'm just one of the millions
Helping to destroy
Wonders by the billions
You gave to us to enjoy

Lord, you made us human
So I must confess
I'd like to think that all mankind
Is better than the rest

But we're self-forgiving
We're unlike bees or bird
We are sinning for a living
Lord help, please help your human herd

Lord, you made us human
What a thing to be
Couldn't you have made instead an angel
Out of me?
