Human or no

I've told a few lies, and I've swallowed my pride,
Buried a few dreams that I keep by my side.
You look for a hero in the shape of a man,
But I'm doing the best that a broken thing can.
So take me with the cross, or you take me not at all.
I'm flesh and I'm failure, and I'm going to stand tall.
So don't you build a throne where I'm bound to fall,
Because I never claimed to be more than small.
Am I human or no, just a heart that don't know where to go?
Human or no, carrying a weight that I never chose?
Don't you hold me to the light of a saint.
I'm human, oh, I'm human, that's all that I am.
