Wake up son o’ mine, momma got somethin’ to tell you
Changes come,
Life will have its way,
With your pride, son.
Take it like a man.
Hang on son o’ mine,
A storm is blowin’ up your horizon.
Changes come,
Keep your dignity,
Take the high road,
Take it like a man.
Listen up son o’ mine, momma got something to tell you,
All about growin’ pains.
Life will pound away,
Where the light don’t shine, son.
Take it like a man.
Suck it up son o’ mine,
Thunder blowin’ up your horizon.
Changes come (changes come),
Keep your dignity (keep your dignity),
Take the high road (take the high road),
Take it like a man (take it like a man),
Momma said like the rain (this too shall pass)
Like a kidney stone (this too shall pass)
It’s just a broken heart, son, this pain will pass away…
