Grow
Man On Earth Lyrics

We’re melting ruby hearts
We are causing people to become emotional and vulnerable

A confusing trade
This process is not always clear or straightforward

To burn the ore
To go through a difficult process to extract something valuable

To shape a blade
To use that valuable thing to create something useful or powerful

Then to swing it low
To use that power humbly and not boastfully

Beginners fate
Inexperience often leads to mistakes and challenges

To lose a skin
To let go of old ways and become a new version of oneself

To just grow away
To separate oneself from the past and move forward

Like a rain, to help a river
Small acts of kindness can make a big difference

But a river so hard to please
It is difficult to make everyone happy and meet their expectations

But I’ve grown to see the diamonds
Through experience, I have learned to recognize the good things in life

You’ve thrown in just for me
I appreciate the things that you have given me and done for me

We spent so many nights
We worked hard and sacrificed to achieve our goals

Just gathering stones
We collected the tools and resources we needed along the way

The silver tears
There were times of sadness and pain during our journey

Old sapphire bones
We have been through many challenges and obstacles

All the copper leaves
We have experienced change and growth

Then dreamt, now true
We once had a vision that we have now realized

Look how they find their path
Things often have a way of falling into place

To cut right through
To overcome obstacles and achieve one's goals with determination

Look when your hopeless child will figure
One day, even when things seem hopeless, your child will find a way through

There are moments when hope’s not
Sometimes it is hard to see hope or a positive future

Only real when flagging far down a road
Hope can be most meaningful when you have been through difficult times

With an armful broken arrows
Even when things are hard, you still have something to work with

And no hand free for the bow
You may feel like you don't have the tools to improve your situation

Your kid will lose a battle
Your child will face challenges and may not always succeed

But your ways
Your teachings and values

Will let him go
Will empower your child to move forward and grow

I lose my wish to drown
I no longer want to give up or feel overwhelmed

And aimless flee
I no longer want to run or avoid my problems

What you’ve thrown to lose
Even when things are hard, you have still given me important lessons and support

Is still right here with me
I still see the value and impact of what you have given me
