Wake up son o' mine
Momma got somethin' to tell you

Changes come
Life will have it's 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
