Growing pains
The clues
Words in the news
Protest
Unrest
Angry people everywhere
Seems nobody does care
Words flung
Stung
Full of dung
Promises made
In time fade
Wanting a better day
Just can't find our way
So here we stay
Good man gone bad
Feeling like he's been had
No difference between right or wrong
Trying just to stand strong
World's tension is about to break
Someones bound to make a mistake
Snap
Crap
Screaming for this or that
While all the time passing the hat
Haters pocket getting fat
Uncertainty fills the air
Life never promised to be fair
Peace by fear
To the future we shed a tear
We fight
No clue who is right
So confusing
Mankind is loosing
Of our own choosing
We are walking
The voices in charge of talking
Lead us in the wrong way
Yet we can't stay
Lost in today
Lost in the riddle
Somewhere in the middle
The answer lies
As time flies
Yesterday now looks so clear
I fear
The answers come to late
To change fate
At any rate
Growing pains is what we feel
With compassion we shall heal
The painful step into tomorrow
A step closer to a time of no sorrow
This is what I see
My opinion of how things be
