Grow up children, don´t you suffer
At the hands of one another
If you like a sleeping demon
Listen can you hear him weeping
Tears of joy and tears of sorrow
He buys love to sell tomorrow.
My life ain´t no holiday
I´ve been through the point of no return
I´ve seen what a man can do
I´ve seen all the hate of a woman too.

Feel your heartbeat lose the rhythm
He can´t touch the world we live in
Life is short but love is strong
There lies a hope that I have found
And if you try you´ll find it too
Remember why I´m telling you.

My life ain´t no holiday
I´ve been through the point of no return
I´ve seen what a man can do
I´ve seen all the hate of a woman too.

And they gave him away
Let him whistle down wind
By the look on his face
He never gave in.
