We grow up
And move away.
Our parents bring us up
And send us away.
When we’re young
We couldn’t have a care.
But when we’re no longer young
Are we always fair?
Growing up
We can be cruel and mean.
Even at all grown up
We can be heartless and mean.
What we’re missing
As we grow up
Is the instructing
On how to love.
We grow up
And move away.
Our parents bring us up
And send us away.
If we fail to learn this
When we’re young.
Then we may also fail to learn it
When we’re not so young.
So that when we’re sent out
Into the world
We’ll end up having a bout
With the sword.
But hopefully we’ll learn it
Before we’re sent out.
Because it’s the bit
That people often doubt.
We grow up
And move away.
Our parents bring us up
And send us away.
