| "Where's your mama at, kid?" "Aww, she passed away"
"How about your daddy?" "Well, I really couldn't say"
"What are you gonna do, where you gonna stay?"
"I'm gonna cry for a minute, and then I'll grow up in a day..."
Young child...so much pain in your eyes
Lost to the world and you don't even realize
how precious, special, and loved you truly are
Never let the rising sun become a shooting star
Don't fade away, don't disappear
Don't let your last moment be a reflection in a tear
Have hope, child, for this will not last
Never give up, and don't grow up too fast
Endure...and see the promise come alive
Sometimes we have to cry out in order to survive
for we get lost, feeling alone, in a world gone mad
If you're confused be confused, and if you're sad, be sad
but never surrender to what the world can generate
Don't let your mind be filled with anger, or your heart be filled with hate
When we grow to the world, it is the world we become
and we live our lives lost and we walk around numb
The world is oh, so real...we can see it, feel it, hear it
and it's screaming at us, enticing us, just to be near it
but listen to your Spirit, for it too is calling you
and it wants to change you, and fix you, and make you brand new
Empty yourself of the world as though you're breathing out your last breath
and feel everlasting life as it overcomes death...

| "I'm gonna cry for a minute, and then I'll grow up in a day..." So sad but so true, so much to have to go through before finding one's way.
