Oscar Zia will sing “Human” in the third deltävling of Melodifestivalen 2016 in Norrköping. The song is written by Oscar himself together with Victor Thell and Maria Smith.
The song “Human” tells about Oscar’s own experiences of coming out and how people shouldn’t treat humans differently despite their sexual orientation or any other differences.
Oscar Zia has taken part in Melodifestivalen twice before, with debuting in 2013 with Behrang Miri. He returned to the contest as a solo act in 2014 and reached the final with “Yes We Can“.
“Human” lyrics – Oscar Zia
I know exactly how you feel
you can hear what they think
Like a shadow in the dark
are you even real
They will bring you down
but weakness makes them win
You have to realize
you’re stronger than you think
Cause once that you’ve seen
what’s on the other side
You have to believe
you can win this fight
If you think we’re human
take a look once again
If you think we’re human
where’s the heart when we just look away
If you think we’re human
you should think once again
If you think were human
look at us it’s time to make a change
and the question remains
About the world and why we’re here
what’s the purpose of this pain
You might feel powerless at times
go on and make it disappear
Cause every time you feel week
say you’re stronger than fear
But you have to believe
we’re gonna make it there
If you think we’re human
take a look once again
If you think we’re human
where’s the heart when we just look away
If you think we’re human
you should think once again
If you think we’re human
look at us it’s time to make a change
and the question remains
Are we human
are we human
who are you man
who are you man
Are we human
are we human
Look at us it’s time to make a change
Oo oo
Oo oo
Oo oo
Look at us it’s time to make a change
If you think we’re human
take a look once again
If you think we’re human
where’s the heart when we just look away
If you think we’re human
you should think once again
If you think we’re human
look at us it’s time to make a change
and the question remains
Are we human
are we human
who are you man
who are you man
Are we human
are we human
Look at us it’s time to make a change
