Life can be hard for a boy these days
Growing up in this world
The things that used to keep his feet on the ground
Don’t seem to matter much I fear
Fathers are tired and mothers are working
Seems like nobody’s ever home
When he comes home from school
And there’s no one around
He’s left to figure things out on his own
Take him down to the water
Take him out on the sea
Bring him back into the circle
Where we’re all supposed to be
Sit on a bank by the river
Go for a walk the woods
Bring him back into the circle
Where the air is sweet and good
Sweet and good
Life can be hard on a girl these days
Growing up in this world
The things that used to keep her feet on the ground
Don’t seem to matter much I fear
Mothers are tired and fathers are working
Seems like nobody’s ever home
When she comes home from school
And there’s no one around
She’s left to figure things out on her own
Take her down to the water
Take her out on the sea
Bring her back into the circle
Where we’re all supposed to be
Sit on a bank by the river
Go for a walk the woods
Bring her back into the circle
Where the air is sweet and good
Sweet and good
