How To Grow Up Big And Strong

"Strong man strangle universe

He drown the stars

Blinded by the mission of a thousand wars

He fit and dominant

Not wonder why

He heed the battle cry

Strong man is survivor

He live to pound

Little wooden crosses in the bloody ground

He fit and dominant

He stand a chance

He not bound to circumstance

And the world keep on turning

And the sun keep on burning

And the children keep learning

How to grow up big and strong

How to grow up big and strong

Strong man take no prisoner

Favor no plea

He leave no gold in teeth of enemy

He fit and dominant

He rise above

He not have the word that mean love

And the world keep on turning

And the sun keep on burning

And the children keep learning

How to grow up big and strong

How to grow up big and strong

Strong man beat the plowshare

He forges sword

He take the flower and he curse the thorn

He crush the serpent

He bite the fruit

His hand is absolute

And the world keep on turning

And the sun keep on burning

And the children keep learning

How to grow up big and strong

How to grow up big and strong

How to grow up big and strong

How to grow up big and strong

How to grow up big and strong

(Growing up big and strong)

(Growing up big and strong)

(Growing up big and strong)

(Growing up big and big and strong)"
