Grow up children, don't you suffer
  At the hands of one another
  If you like a sleeping demon
  Listen can you hear him weeping
  Tears of joy and tears of sorrow
  He buys love to sell tomorrow
  
  My life ain't no holiday
  I've been through the point of no return
  I've seen what a man can do
  I've seen all the hate of a woman too
  
  Feel your heartbeat lose the rhythm
  He can't touch the world we live in
  Life is short but love is strong
  There lies a hope that I have found
  And if you try you'll find it too
  Remember why I'm telling you
  
  My life ain't no holiday
  I've been through the point of no return
  I've seen what a man can do
  I've seen all the hate of a woman too
  
  And they gave him away
  Like in 'Whistle Down The Wind'
  By the look on his face
  He never gave in
