lyrics

Today would have been the perfect day to go to the beach
I'm on the sofa trying to get over a hate speech
We do not love ourselves the way the prophets teach

Even Jesus kept his feelings like a lamp in the dark
Until he flipped the tables over up in the market
Oh Mother, there are lamps but there are sparks

But I need to know
I don’t need to be shown
I've gotta see it for myself
I've gotta learn it on my own
I need to know if I am flesh & bone
And am I still growing or full grown?
Am I still growing, or full grown?
Oh, ooh, yeah

She’s coming up for the rising like the dark before dawn
She has come to a place and she feels like her love’s gone
She has come of an age and a line should be drawn

He’s walking around in a tank top getting caught in a bluff
Little boys do not cry, don’t you think that you’re hot stuff?
Its real tough when your daddy don’t call you enough, oh

But I need to know
I don’t need to be shown
I've gotta see it for myself
I've gotta learn it on my own
I need to know if I am flesh & bone
And am I still growing or full grown?
Am I still growing, or full grown?
Oh, ooh, yeah
Oh, ooh

Striking matches to watch em burn
In my childhood bedrooms
Little time, little water and light, little seed
Every bud blooms
And I've been striking matches to watch ‘em burn
In my childhood bedrooms, ooh
Little time, little water and light, little seed
Every bud blooms, oh

There are days I need to tell myself I’m doing alright
My inner child and my ego get caught up in a knife fight
I get nervous, and then I will get out of sight

Cause everybody I came up with says that I’m going too slow, woah
But it’s cool though
Cause I can hear my people when I check out the show
I feel real low

Cause I need to know
I don’t need to be shown
I've gotta see it for myself
I've gotta learn it on my own
I need to know if I am flesh & bone
Am I still growing? I am a full grown

'Cause I need to know
Oh, I don’t need to be shown
Gotta see it for myself
I've gotta learn it on my own
I need to know if I am flesh & bone
And am I still growing or full grown, honey?
Am I still growing, like a-a-a-ah
Oh, ooh, yeah
