one day i marvel at its beauty  and next i marvel at its pain  the world is such a big idea, such a big idea  and pain gets locked inside a child  and there's a child in us all  and that is such a big idea, such a big idea  and mama it's not just irrelevant nonsense  what are you hiding?  where is your conscience?  you expect me to follow  but i'm stronger than you  i'm ready to feel life  ready to find out  and still the beauty if i care  is always there where i can see  and it is only in ourselves  that we can choose to let it be  but now i'm grounded at the gate  in my attempt to save the world  and that is such a sad idea, such a sad idea  and mama it's not just irrelevant nonsense  what are you hiding?  where is your conscience?  you don't even know me  do you know how that feels?  it feels like i'm no one  it feels like i'm nothing  (musical interlude)  and mama it's not just irrelevant nonsense  what are you hiding?  where is your conscience?  you expect me to follow  but i'm stronger than you  i'm ready to feel life  ready to find out  ready to find out  not afraid to find out...
