Growing Songtext

von Technoir

When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king just for a day
Go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what the man has to say

You can fool the whole world down a pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be just headache and tears
If, if you've cheated the man
The man in the glass

For it isn't a mans sister, mother or wife
Whose judgement upon him must pass
The fellow whose verdict comes most to his end
Is the man starring back from the glass

You can fool the whole world down a pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be just headache and tears
If, if you've cheated the man
The man in the glass

He's the fellow to please never mind the rest
For he's with you clear, up to the end
And you've passed your most dangerous test
If the man in the glass is your friend...
