"Growing Pain" (Ono):

I'm a battleship, frozen by my mothers anger,
Anchored in the north pole sea.
I'm a sphinx, stamped on the hilton poster,
Hoping to see the desert.
I'm a woman without country or state.
Opening her head to the universe,
Hundred thousand people in me.
Every day they're growing,
Every day they're feeling.

He's an infant, blinded from his mothers sorrow,
Crawling in the bleeding sky.
He's a building, floating in spring air,
Hoping to open his windows.
He's a man, bound on earth soil,
Reaching his hands to the universe,
Hundred thousand people in him.
Every day they're feeling,
Every day they're growing.

Growing pain, growing joy,
Growing pain, growing joy.
Growing together, reaching each other.

Growing pain, growing joy,
Growing pain, growing joy.
Growing together, reaching each other.




This album is dedicated to the sisters who died in pain and sorrow and those who are now in prisons and in mental hospitals for being unable to survive in the male society.

@MrSybar How do you come to this? Why so angry? What do you really love - yourself only? All life comes to an end.

One of my favourite songs, all categories, since I was 18. (And that was thirty years ago!). Growing pain, growing joy, growing together...
