Growing Pain

I’m a battleship, frozen by my mother’s anger
Anchored in the north pole sea
I’m a sphinx, stamped on the hilton poster
Hoping to see the desert
I’m a woman without country or state
Opening her head to the universe
Hundred thousand people in me
Ev’ry day they’re growing
Ev’ry day they’re feeling
He’s an infant, blinded from his mother’s sorrow
Crawling in the bleeding sky
He’s a building, floating in spring air
Hoping to open his windows
He’s a man, bound on earth soil
Reaching his hands to the universe
Hundred thousand people in him
Ev’ry day they’re feeling
Ev’ry day they’re growing
Growing pain, growing joy
Growing pain, growing joy
Growing together, reaching each other
Growing pain, growing joy
Growing pain, growing joy
Growing together, reaching each other
