Grow Up

It starts with a child who spoke out of turn
Whose eyes were too bright, whose heart was to burn
And all of the heat of so much to prove
And all of the pain in the mountain that he needed to move

Your journey will be hard like an indigo child
Finding your way out in the wild
And all the while waiting for life to interrupt
Some boys just never grow up

The curse of the gift can sometimes be cruel
The path that you choose confused with a fool
Wire in the brain and there isn't a choice
Driven by details and persistance of some inner voice

Your journey will be hard like an indigo child
Finding your way out in the wild
And all the while waiting for life to interrupt
Some boys just never grow up

Like the madman who played, but then his tuning was wrong
And the boy who jumped back, because the light was too strong
Who raged at the moon 'cause the nights were too long
But left me some hope in the words of a song

Then the Ghost asked "d'you see it as strange
That all this went on and you never changed?"
And though the Kid said "time changes, not me"
The west grew old and there was something that he'd never see

Your journey will be hard like an indigo child
Finding your way out in the wild
And all the while waiting for life to interrupt
Some boys just never grow up

When all of the parties have partied away
Eternal spring wakes to a cold winter's day
With great expectations relying on fate
Fate holds out a hand you must take it, before it's too late

Journey will be hard like an indigo child
Finding your way out in the wild
And all the while waiting for life to interrupt
Some boys just never grow up

So don't be furious, don't be aggrieved
Believe in the things that we always believed
Try to be cool, walk out there with me
Then we will always be
Then we will always be... free

Your journey will be hard like an indigo child
Finding your way out in the wild
And all the while waiting for life to interrupt
Some boys just never grow up
Some boys just never grow up
