Growing Up


I never thought it would end this way
Now I know, I’ve made it through
My childhood life was hard for me
Fighting and hiding in the bunkers at night
Always hoping for a better life
Far away from fear, far away from tears
I don’t want to live this nomadic life
I don’t want to kill, hide, steal and fight
I know there’s a better place for me
I know there’s a better way to be
I know some day I will see
And eliminate this torment haunting me

As I grow older now, I’m starting to understand
I’ve got to move to a different land
I’ve got to go to a far away sun
I can’t let my child live under this one
I’ve got to do everything I can
To get away from this forsaken place
Taking the initiative
To escape into space

I want to live a normal life
Teacher, mother, lover and wife
My spy days are numbered, because I don’t want to live
My life, in danger of dying again
I’ll find a way to change my fate
I’ll start all over with a pure white slate
Living the life I was destined to lead
Being the person I know I should be

My eyes are heavy and closing slow
I’m tired now, I have to go
To sleep and rest my mind again
Dreaming of my new homeland
