Flesh & Bone

Today would have been the perfect day to go to the beach I'm on the sofa trying to get over a hate speech We do not love ourselves the way the prophets teach Even Jesus kept his feelings like a lamp in the dark Until he flipped the tables over up in the market Oh, Mother, there are lamps but there are sparks But I need to know I don't need to be shown I've gotta see it for myself I've gotta learn it on my own I need to know if I am flesh and bone And am I still growing or full grown? And am I still growing or full grown? Oh, ooh, yeah She's coming up for the rising like the dark before dawn She has come to a place and she feels like her love's gone She has come of an age and a line should be drawn He's walking around in a tank top getting caught in a bluff Little boys do not cry, don't you think that you're hot stuff? It's real tough when your daddy don't call you enough, oh But I need to know I don't need to be shown I've gotta see it for myself I've gotta learn it on my own I need to know if I am flesh and bone And am I still growing or full grown, honey? And am I still growing, or am I full grown? Hey! Oh, ooh, yeah Oh, no, ooh Striking matches to watch 'em burn in my childhood bedrooms Little time, little water and light, little seed, every bud blooms And I've been striking matches to watch 'em burn In my childhood bedroom, ooh Little time, little water and light, little seed, every bud blooms, oh There are days I need to tell myself I'm doing alright My inner child and my ego got caught up in a knife fight I get nervous, and then I will get out of sight 'Cause everybody I came up with says that I'm going too slow, whoa Oh, but it's cool though And I can hear my people when I check out the show I feel real low 'Cause I need to know I don't need to be shown I've gotta see it for myself I've gotta learn it on my own I need to know if I am flesh and bone Am I still growing or am I full grown? 'Cause I need to know Oh, I don't need to be shown Gotta see it for myself I've gotta learn it on my own I need to know if I am flesh and bone And am I still growing or full grown, honey? And am I still growing, like a-a-a-ah-, hey Oh, ooh, yeah
