Grow Up

Carbon/Silicon


It starts with the child 
Who spoke out of turn
Whose eyes were too bright 
Whose heart was to burn
And all of the heat 
Of so much to prove
And all of the pain 
In the Mountain 
That he needed to move

Your journey will be hard 
Like an Indigo Child
Finding your way out in the wild
And all the while waiting 
For life to interrupt
Some boys just never grow up

The curse of the gift 
Can sometimes be cruel
The path that you choose 
Confused with a fool
Wire in the brain 
And there isn't a choice
Driven by details 
And persistance 
Of some inner voice

Your journey will be hard 
Like an Indigo Child
Finding your way out in the wild
And all the while waiting 
For life to interrupt
Some boys just never grow up

Like the madman who played 
But then his tuning was wrong
And the boy who jumped back 
Because the light was too strong
Who raged at the moon 
'Cause the nights were too long
But left me some hope 
In the words of a song

Then the Ghost asked 
"D'you see it as strange
That all this went on 
And you never changed?"
And though the Kid said 
"Time changes, not me"
The west grew old and there 
Was something there 
That he'd never see

Your journey will be hard 
Like an Indigo Child
Finding your way out in the wild
And all the while 
Waiting for life to interrupt
Some boys just never grow up

When all of the parties 
Have partied away
Eternal spring wakes 
To a cold winter's day
With great expectations 
Relying on fate
Fate holds out a hand 
You must take it 
Before it's too late

Journey will be hard 
Like an Indigo Child
Finding your way out in the wild
And all the while waiting 
For life to interrupt
Some boys just never grow up

So don't be furious 
Don't be aggrieved
Believe in the things 
That we always believed
Try to be cool 
Walk out there with me
Then we will always be
Then we will always be 
Free

Your journey will be hard 
Like an Indigo Child
Finding your way out in the wild
And all the while waiting 
For life to interrupt
Some boys just never grow up
Some boys just never grow up
