Growing Pain - Jay Som

I’m a battleship, frozen by my mother’s anger

Anchored in the north pole sea

I’m a sphinx, stamped on the hilton poster

Hoping to see the desert

I’m a woman without country or state

Opening her head to the universe

Hundred thousand people in me

Ev’ry day they’re growing

Ev’ry day they’re feeling

He’s an infant, blinded from his mother’s sorrow

Crawling in the bleeding sky

He’s a building, floating in spring air

Hoping to open his windows

He’s a man, bound on earth soil

Reaching his hands to the universe

Hundred thousand people in him

Ev’ry day they’re feeling

Ev’ry day they’re growing

Growing pain, growing joy

Growing pain, growing joy

Growing together, reaching each other

Growing pain, growing joy

Growing pain, growing joy

Growing together, reaching each other
