Mein Freund kam ganz geheimnisvoll,
um abzulocken
Das heiligste Geheimnis mir.
Ich sagte trocken:
"Eh ich dir Antwort geben kann
Auf deine Fragen,
Musst du zuvor mir im Vertraun
Noch eines sagen:
Sprich, kannst du schweigen?" - "Wie das Grab!"
"Nun,", sagt ich, "lieber Freund, so hör:
Auch ich kann - schweigen." -
Wake up, son of mine.
Momma got something to tell you.
Changes come.
Life will have its way with your pride, son.
Take it like a man.

Hang on, son of mine.
A storm is blowing on the 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 the horizon.

Changes come.
Keep your dignity.
Take the high road.
Take it like a man.

Momma said ? ? ? like a kidney stone.
It's just a broken heart, son.
This pain will pass away.
