WE ALL GREW UP A LITTLE TODAY

What I'm doing here - I can't say.
It was such a party but it all blew away
When the sun came up - and they left me alone
To carry this gun. I was home
But you ripped the bedsheets from my sleep
And stood me up to fight for freedom.
Don't console me now - that's just the way that I feel.
This is no dream. This is real!

We all grew up a little today,
But I didn't want to grow up this way.
Maybe we'll be in the news - someday.

Give me life.
Give me time.
Give me rhyme.
Give me reason.
Give me hope for tomorrow
And release from today.

I want life.
I want time.
I want rhyme.
I want reason.
I want hope for tomorrow
And release from today.
Maybe we'll be in the news...
Maybe we'll be in the news...
Maybe we'll be in the news - someday.
