What a human does

The little reflexes in your eyes when you laugh
The way your iris expands
It takes a second for me to adjust
and let the sound of your voice
catch up with this sight and I'll try

to take a million tears
and make a million homes
It's what a human does

but what if the plans aren't good enough?
and what if my arms aren't strong enough?
and what if you see through my stupidity?

I'll take the million years
and i'll take a million tears
and build us a home
