Lyrics

This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival
A joy, a depression, a meanness
Some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor
Welcome and entertain them all
Be grateful for whoever comes
Because each has been sent as a guide
Written by: Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Mikkel S. Eriksen, Tor Erik Hermansen, Will Champion
