Grow up, children, don't you suffer 
 At the hands of one another 
 If you like a sleeping demon 
 Listen, can you hear him weeping? 
 Tears of joy and tears of sorrow 
 He buys love to sell tomorrow 
    My life ain't no holiday 
 I've been through the point of no return 
 I've seen what a man can do 
 I've seen all the hate of a woman too   
 Feel your heartbeat lose the rhythm 
 He can't touch the world we live in 
 Life is short but love is strong 
 There lies a hope that I have found 
 And if you try, you'll find it too 
 Remember why I'm telling you   
 My life ain't no holiday 
 I've been through the point of no return 
 I've seen what a man can do 
 I've seen all the hate of a woman too   
 And they gave him away 
 Like in Whistle Down The Wind 
 By the look on his face 
 He never gave in
