Trouble And Strife |
Who would be born into a mans’s man’s man’s world? |
But what do children care |
For grown ups' despair |
A house can hold both boy and girl |
But every mother’s son grows up |
And daughters imitate |
And the burden of careworn world |
Is his to bear |
--Hers to wait |
As the open world of a tomboy girl |
Closes on a growing wife |
From a childhood clear |
Through teenage years |
That always seem to be more |
Trouble than strife |
From the hot dark of the night |
To the cold light of day |
From the cradle to wife to grave |
Unless I stand in the way |
As the open world of a tomboy girl |
Closes in with growing strife |
For my own sake I’ll comfort take |
To know I’d never make a wife |
As the open world of a tomboy girl |
Closes in with growing strife |
For my own sake I’ll comfort take |
In the knowledge that I’d never make a wife |
You hear them talk of women’s way with hatred |
And it cuts me like a knife |
Poor men, so much to bear |
The children and the trouble and strife |
The open world of a tomboy girl |
Is the best of life |
From a childhood clear |
You end up here |
In trouble and strife |
