Grow Up or Sit Down

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 5 months ago 1 min read

[Verse]

You point your fingers

Blame the sky

Every excuse is your alibi

Mirror’s cracked

But you can’t see why

[Prechorus]

Throw your words like stones

They miss the mark

Cry out loud

But you’re in the dark

[Chorus]

Grow up or sit down

Hear the sound

Of your own voice spinning round and round

Act like a kid

Get treated like one

Grow up or sit down

The talk is done

[Verse 2]

Criticism hits

You dodge

You weave

Every truth’s a gift you won’t receive

Tantrums fly

It’s hard to believe

[Prechorus]

Blame the wind

Blame the stars

Blame the tide

But the fault’s been standing at your side

[Chorus]

Grow up or sit down

Hear the sound

Of your own voice spinning round and round

Act like a kid

Get treated like one

Grow up or sit down

The talk is done
