It's part and parcel of growing up, The things you gain and The things you lose. The pain you feel When the shelter you've had couldn't protect you Your mind reels Your stumble, your fall, The feeling of losing it all; You're not in control, But a pawn in Life's thrall. You're never sure, You're surely lost, It's better to admit it now, Then let your pride rule and before The higher you climb, The faster you fall. It is a fact, you can never have it all.

Growing up
It's part and parcel of growing up, The things you gain and The things you lose. The pain you feel When the shelter you've had couldn't protect you Your mind reels Your stumble, your fall, The feeling of losing it all; You're not in control, But a pawn in Life's thrall. You're never sure, You're surely lost, It's better to admit it now, Then let your pride rule and before The higher you climb, The faster you fall. It is a fact, you can never have it all.
