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 SongtexteBy gunpoint and penpoint, the west was claimed As one main's burden, another's manifest destiny With peace and justice divided unequally 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
