Growing Man

Lyrics

Easy to you, my traveller, coming home to me Oh I am a weary man, yes I think it's me Paint for me a picture of the city in your way You will not see no colours but a million shades of grey Where did you go to and what did you feel? I felt a city burn away but flames I did not see Did you make good friends in your city hold? No money buys you friendship and so I lived alone Don't ask me why I'm happy, don't tell me I look sad I can't help it, I'm a growing man Did you meet a famous man or woman in the street? Oh once I saw a puppet man with people at his feet Tell me, my traveller, what words did he speak? He spat them words like fire and told them they were free What did you say or hear? What did you see? Someone sang a song and people laughed and I could not believe Tell me, my traveller, what did you learn? That wisdom lies in truth itself and sorrow hides in scorn Don't ask me why I'm happy, don't tell me I look sad I can't help it, I'm a growing man Don't ask me why I'm happy, don't tell me I look sad I can't help it, I'm a growing man
