one day i marvel at its beauty
and next i marvel at its pain
the world is such a big idea, such a big idea
and pain gets locked inside a child
and there's a child in us all
and that is such a big idea, such a big idea
and mama it's not just irrelevant nonsense
what are you hiding?
where is your conscience?
you expect me to follow
but i'm stronger than you
i'm ready to feel life
ready to find out
and still the beauty if i care
is always there where i can see
and it is only in ourselves
that we can choose to let it be
but now i'm grounded at the gate
in my attempt to save the world
and that is such a sad idea, such a sad idea
and mama it's not just irrelevant nonsense
what are you hiding?
where is your conscience?
you don't even know me
do you know how that feels?
it feels like i'm no one
it feels like i'm nothing
(musical interlude)
and mama it's not just irrelevant nonsense
what are you hiding?
where is your conscience?
you expect me to follow
but i'm stronger than you
i'm ready to feel life
ready to find out
ready to find out
not afraid to find out...
