As We Go

Born into a little town, this little boy's gotta grow up now
He's gonna learn fast that the world is ugly
The life he wants it won't come easy

Grew up thinking things were good, a young mind never understood
Half the world will watch you drown
The other half will hold you down

We've all got to grow up one day, Learn our place
We've all got to take flight someday, Get to know the fears we face
We're all learning as we go, Against the grain
We all learn the same things though, The teacher's pain

Cast out into real life, it's dog eat dog, do or die
The streets are dark and the nights are cold
They'll eat the young and starve the old

The future he was told he had, was full of hope, but now faded
The colour gone from sunset skies
He's on the edge, it's no surprise

We've all got to grow up one day, Learn our place
We've all got to take flight someday, Get to know the fears we face
We're all learning as we go, Against the grain
We all learn the same things though, The teacher's pain

Two paths lay in front of him, a choice to make, to sink or swim
With his head held high he takes a step
Not to the right, not to the left

The destination is the same, life is but the road he takes
He cuts his own way to the end
Lays his own road through the land

We've all got to grow up one day, Learn our place
We've all got to take flight someday, Get to know the fears we face
We're all learning as we go, Against the grain
We all learn the same things though, The teacher's pain
