Flesh and Blood - Shooting Star

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
