Jon Foli - Growing Lyrics

Nobody taught me to be accountable
My sisters were told how to act
Be a lady and stay proper
I was told I had all the power
Nobody taught me to be accountable
My sisters were told how to act
Be a lady and stay proper
I was told I had all the power
You always be here
But I'll never be there
You always be here
But I'll never be there
You always be here
But I'll never be there
You always be here
When it matters the most
You always be here
But I'll never be there
You always be here
But I'll never be there
You always be here
But I'll never be there
You always be here
When it matters the most
Some days I'm disappointed in the man I am
Especially when I see evil and don't make a sound
The Alpha protects his pride but I shield my ego
So if I'm being honest I do not deserve this crown
I do not deserve this crown
I'm focused on appeasing the crowd
Of young men who are just like me
Do I really wish for more men just like me?
Cos being passive is just as bad
Not all men but I always laugh
At the stupid silly jokes that the others pass
Insensitive to the feelings that my sisters have
But can you blame me
I used to think no restraints equals being free
Childhood innocence turned into unholy purity
Ashamed of the person I grew up to be
Nobody taught me to be accountable
My sisters were told how to act
Be a lady and stay proper
I was told I had all the power
Nobody taught me to be accountable
My sisters were told how to act
Be a lady and stay proper
I was told I had all the power
You always be here
But I'll never be there
You always be here
But I'll never be there
You always be here
But I'll never be there
You always be here
When it matters the most
You always be here
But I'll never be there
You always be here
But I'll never be there
You always be here
But I'll never be there
You always be here
When it matters the most
I think we're all victims of this society
I pray one day some way we'll all be free
I think we're all victims of this society
I pray one day some way we'll all be free
