Song Lyrics

"How To Grow Up Big And Strong"

by Rich Mullins
Album: A Liturgy, A Legacy

Strong man strangle universe, he drown the stars,
Blinded by the mission of a thousand wars,
He fit and dominant, not wonder why,
He heed the battle cry,
Strong man is survivor,
He live to pound little wooden crosses in the bloody ground,
He fit and dominant, he stand a chance,
He not bow to circumstance.

And the world keep on turning,
And the sun keep on burning,
And the children keep learning how to grow up big and strong,
How to grow up big and strong.

Strong man take no prisoner, favour no plea,
He leave no gold in teeth of enemy,
He fit and dominant, he rise above,
He not have the word that mean love.

And the world keep on turning,
And the sun keep on burning,
And the children keep learning how to grow up big and strong,
How to grow up big and strong.

Strong man beat the ploughshare, he forges sword,
He take the flower and he curse the thorn,
He crush the serpent, he bite the fruit,
His hand is absolute.

And the world keep on turning,
And the sun keep on burning,
And the children keep learning how to grow up big and strong,
How to grow up big and strong,
How to grow up big and strong.

How to grow up big and strong,
How to grow up big and strong,

Growing up big and strong,
Growing up big and strong,
Growing up big and strong,
Growing up big and big and strong.
