Lyrics Just a Child - Satsang

Just a child, floating out into a great big world
And I'm sure was meant for much stronger men than me
Try to plan a graceful next move
Take a stand
I sing out of tune
But I curse the waves, head back to shore
I floated too long, there's no shore anymore
Now a man, they're telling me that's what I am
I feel like I'm driftwood
Cruising and crashing, and falling to pieces
The ocean that I know has changed

These are the things that pull me apart
The pain and the pleasure strengthen my heart
Just a man of the water who don't want to sail
Just the son of a daughter told she would fail
Just a child, just a man
Just a child, just a man
Just a child, just a man
Just a child

As the sun, it moves closer, warming my bones
The suffocating comfort that we're not alone
And my predisposition for fighting the things I can't see
Used to sail, well, not very well
But I loved my boat, seen it through hell
Was forced to leave the ocean
Was for my own good
With so much unanswered, so little understood
Well the seasons, they change
Oceans ran dry
The boat was renovated and so was I
When I returned to the pier, I knew I was now meant for land

Well these are the things that pull me apart
The pain and the pleasure strengthen my heart
Just a man of the water who don't want to sail
Just the son of a daughter told she would fail
Just a child, just a man
Just a child, just a man
Just a child, just a man
Just a child

Learning to be just like the sea
As I smash my head onto this reef
Pushing and pulling, and cutting my selves
Then drift with me slowly, I'm blazing a trail

Learning to be just like the sea
As I smash my head onto this reef
Pushing and pulling, and cutting my selves
Then drift with me slowly, I'm blazing a trail

These are the things that pull me apart
The pain and the pleasure strengthen my heart
Just a man of the water, don't want to sail
Just the son of a daughter told she would fail
Just a child, just a man
Just a child, just a man
Just a child, just a man
Just a child
