With a twinkle in my eye   I believe that we are all the same   A mother tried to teach her young man to swallow all of the pain   If we go down there   You're not coming back   If I go down there   I'm not coming back   I've tried to hide   Tried to fight the anger impulse   From some of you who held me down   To some who just stepped on my fingers   Some of them just walked away   And some went to get their big brothers   I feel my age and my thoughts have changed   And now I know we're nothing alike   I've choked back the hurt for so many years   That my heart is about to break
