Flesh and Blood

Well he's working hard from when he gets up in the morning Til the night when he comes home and goes to bed And he breaks his back to find a life he's proud to be living Lord knows he kills himself to get ahead And he fights for what he needs And he fights for what he believes And he fights and yes he bleeds He's not just a number, number He needs love to feel at ease He needs love for what his body needs He needs love no promises no guarantees He's here right now, you're here right now Only flesh and blood, only flesh and blood Well he wonders while passing through time with such sorrow And such fear and anger running through our lives Will it all be worth it when you're looking back tomorrow Soon you'll be older but you'll see through the same eyes He needs love to feel at ease He needs love for what his body needs He needs love no promises, no guarantees He'll soon be gone he's a mortal man He's only flesh and blood, only flesh and blood Look at him as he sees the sun It's always so life-giving Look at him as he tries to makes some sense Of the world in which we're living He's a person, he's got feelings, he's not made of iron And his soul's alive in everything he does They say his love is never meant to hurt, but it always happens He says he guess that's just the price you pay for love And so he tries to build a wall And he tries to stay above it all And when the time comes to say goodbye He tries to be logical, logical He needs love to feel alive He needs love (he looks into her eyes) He needs love (and softly shines) When he hears her voice, he can't help himself He's only flesh and blood, only flesh and blood Only flesh and blood Only flesh and blood Needs love, love, love
