Wake up son of 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 of mine
the storm is blowing up your horizon

changes come
keep your dignity
take the high road
take it like a man

listen up son of mine
momma got something to tell you
all about growing pains
life will pound away
where the light don’t shine, son
take it like a man

suck it up son of mine
thunder blowing up your horizon

changes come
keep your dignity
take the high road
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
