LyricsI'm only human
I'm only, I'm only I'm only human, human Maybe I'm foolish Maybe I'm blind Thinking I can see through this And see what's behind Got no way to prove it So maybe I'm blind But I'm only human after all I'm only human after all Don't put your blame on me Don't put your blame on me Take a look in the mirror And what do you see Do you see it clearer Or are you deceived In what you believe 'Cause I'm only human after all You're only human after all Don't put the blame on me Don't put your blame on me Some people got the real problems Some people out of luck Some people think I can solve them Lord heavens above I'm only human after all I'm only human after all Don't put the blame on me Don't put the blame on me Don't ask my opinion Don't ask me to lie Then beg for forgiveness For making you cry Making you cry 'Cause I'm only human after all I'm only human after all Don't put your blame on me Don't put the blame on me Oh, some people got the real problems Some people out of luck Some people think I can solve them Lord heavens above I'm only human after all I'm only human after all Don't put the blame on me Don't put the blame on me I'm only human I make mistakes I'm only human That's all it takes To put the blame on me Don't put the blame on me I'm no prophet or Messiah Should go looking somewhere higher I'm only human after all I'm only human after all Don't put the blame on me Don't put the blame on me I'm only human I do what I can I'm just a man I do what I can Don't put the blame on me Don't put your blame on me Ní fhaca mé a leithéid riamh sa mbreis Ag teacht in aois faoi scath na huaisle os cionn .....

A couple of days later we had our Dragons Den and the four of us competed to win the J.E.P. But the overall winner was Stephen and Kyle who were doing customized cups. They wrapped the cups in cellophane and they were the overall winners for Ms Holmes class.We had some great dragons like Ms. Fleming,John Keegan(Academy barber owner),Alex(Baobab cafe owner) and Ms Smith.They asked some great questions like 'how much profit does it make' and 'how long does it take to make your product'.
