Lyrics

It can take at least five years Sometimes even twenty To change those useful doubts and fears Into positive identity

In the meantime, he may be stalled At parlor's halfway stage His parents constantly appalled By his withdrawal and rage

He may decline to go to work Wear unconventional clothes Inhabit residential murk Plead to strange friends and ?

To him it seems like evidence of ? and telling Of power and independence It's little more than yelling

The protest ? negative It can be seen properly As a step, albeit tentative Toward full maturity

Some kids are sternly radical Others are altruistic Cynics, highly critical Extremists, idealistic

The next few years will yield Emotional enterprise Some obsessed and some chosen Feel tolerance and compromise
