Lyrics Flesh and Blood - Shooting Star

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
