Growing Pains Paroles

Love is born; life must change
These are the growing pains
Skin and bone yearn to congregate
They push and pull to meet and become one
Forge a frontier and a language common

I've been heartbroken for a year and a day
My adultery put my child to bed in shame
She's not feeling well. She won't come out to play
All he other girls and boys, they know what's best :
Forgive the past and live for the present

These are the growing pains
Nation born; nature must change
These are the growing pains
We came by boats, in hopes, in chains
Felled the forest for farm and firewood
And built a church on the hill to pray for the greater good These are the growing pains
Country born; conscience must change
These are the growing pains I've been heartbroken for a year and a day
My adultery put my child to bed in shame
She's not feeling well. She won't come out to play
All he other girls and boys, they know what's best :
Forgive the past and live for the present

These are the growing pains
Love is born; life must change
These are the growing pains
The breakdown of the barricades
There's fear and cowardice to be overcome
By instinct, force and momentum
