Lyrics
ALL GROWN UP
Remember the father
You thought you had
The beat of your heart and the heat of the fields
Then one day they took him away
For sins that weren't revealed
And you cried every night but no-one heard your pain
You struggled and fought for the love you desired
You hardened your heart
Kill or be killed is the only law in the jungle
It doesn't matter now your all grown up
They stand to attention in formal salute
It's so different now, you lead them by the hand
Isn't it strange the things children do
The things children do
You made a vow that's a promise now to turn their world around
You fought for respect and the power that it brings
They look to you for the future
You hold it in your hands
Don't despair, don't look back, don't give in
It doesn't matter now your all grown up
They stand to attention in formal salute
It's so different now, you lead them by the hands
Isn't it strange the things children do
