Lyrics
I want to be a man
I want to grow up
I want to take a stand
I want a messy life
I want dirty hands
I want a peace that I don't understand
In this myopic world we're just havin' a good time
I want to love God
I want to love my friends
I want to love my wife and my children
I want to eat real food
I want to take the bus
I want to give
I want to laugh
I want to trust
In this myopic world etc.
