growth hurts - stretching your limbs
to the sky is what you need
but the expansion aches, your skin gives
you wear those marks for a little time
And those things which don't grow,
die
So there's all the use in trying

Growth in summer - beauty explodes!
But a winter below
No winning without growing first
And I have to leave the training wheels
like a kid in love
Is this the only way out?
What should we do next?
Shiny new gun came in the mail,
but now new rails for this train.
And we are still the aim.

So now, I am at a crossroads,
take my hand, rejoice in us.
So now, I don't feel much good,
endure the winter with me. It's less cold.

I don't know where the road takes
but I know it's a good place
With or without you, I will manage.

Growth - now I am awake
I won't ever sleep again.
The world's too bright for me
to close my eyes
