Shooting Star: Flesh and blood [lyrics]

Shooting Star

Flesh and blood

Well he's working hard from when he gets up in the morning

Till 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 thru our lives

Will it all be worth when you're looking back tomorrow

Soon you'll be older but you'll see thru the same eyes

And 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

He says 'love was never meant to hurt but it always happens'

He says 'he guessed it'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 (her softness 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
