The Trade Away

Gonna let my beard grow to the floor
Hard to imagine the boy i was before
Sittin up in front of a mirror
Wondering why the people back home dont recognize me
Is this what it means to be a man
or an Age i never thought id see
Responsibilties mount but never seem to shy away
Now your a grown-up
Who has to cast a large shadow
Like my Daddy did before me
Although im hiding deep inside my cell
Im harvesting a light,Im harvesting a flame
Its been a long while since Ive been Tamed.
Ooh uoh The Trade Away
Ooh ooh its The Trade Away
Maybe it was my kids when they were born
Maybe it was my kids who pulled out the thorn
Helped to trade away the parts of me
that jesus did not intend to save
Now im teaching
Now im teaching them to Behave
Now im teaching them to Drive
Now im teaching them to Drive Away
IT all has gone so fast
It has a way of Flying on by
Like my Daddy did before me
Im Harvesting a light,Im harvesting a flame
Its been a long while since i fealt any real pain
Ooh ooh its The Trade Away
Ooh Uooh its The Trade Away.
