The Man In You Lyrics

(lyrics are written by Rollo Armstrong - Ayalah Bentovim - Maxi Jazz - LSK)

Although I don't really know how to handle you,
I will have nobody kicking no sand in your face
Not even a trace of bland in you
Teenage and it's a trouble understanding you
You got plenty of energy and stamina
Forgot all the little tricks I tried to cram in you
There's a bit of "I don't give a damn" in you, ha
And that's your old man in you

Stand in your way, never or ever abandon you
And on the day people say what they can't stand in you,
Don't let your ego get out of hand on you,
It ain't a good look when crook karma land on you,
That lets yourself bring out those inner things
They're down in you
The "I will" and "I can" in you,
Execute the grand plan in you,
I'm your daddy and happy to see the man in you

Mightn't know too much but I'm no soft touch
Brought you up to recognise lies and such
I need no crutch, childhood was arduous,
And if there is a God I'm sure he would pardon us
Must be working hard in us
Not to harden us, ha

(Did you know that one light year is
950 million million kilometres?
And that the nearest galaxy is
Two and a half million of those light years away?
Isn't that amazing?)

10 That you really want to be
20 Exactly what you see's on telly
11 You can't tell him anything that he don't know already
12 They get together steady, explore the fuss keeping up with the many
13 None of them are ready, living on hope, raised broke, not a penny
14 They be in the belly, seed sower's done another runner, no daddy
15 Nanny and she loves it dearly, headstrong proving all along but weary
16 Scary but quite contrary
This is how the garden grows
This is how the garden grows

Children you still own the power
To turn this into your finest hour
Now a young ma-mum that is
They can make a contribution
Why dont we wait and see?
Give back the mothers their dignity
And the fathers who roam free a lesson in humility
This society needs to learn empathy

It happened to you, it could happen to me
It happened to you, it could happen to me
It happened to you, it could happen to me
It happened to you, it could happen to me

Birds and bees without flowers
Girls be strong, boys don't cower
Stand by your seat, scream and shower
Oh how the sweet can turn sour
Birds and bees without flowers
Girls be strong, boys don't cower
Stand by your seat, scream and shower
Oh how the sweet can turn sour

(Cada año mueren cuatro millones de niños
Antes de cumplir los cinco años
Se utiliza más dinero en armamento
Que en educación y sanidad juntos
En nuestro mundo ciento veinte millones de niños
No recibirán educación ninguna.)
