Lyrics

Growing Pain

[Verse 1]

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

Every day, they're growing

Every day, they're feeling

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

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

Every day, they're feeling

Every day, they're growing

[Chorus]

Growing pain, growing joy

Growing pain, growing joy

Growing pain, growing joy

Growing pain, growing joy

Growing together

Reaching each other
