Flesh & Bone

Sammy Rae & The Friends - The Good Life

Picture of the Band

[Verse 1]

Today would have been the perfect day to go to the beach

I'm on the sofa trying to get over a hate speech

We do not love ourselves the way the prophets teach


Even Jesus kept his feelings like a lamp in the dark

Until he flipped the tables over up in the market

Oh Mother, there are lamps but there are sparks


[Chrous]

But I need to know

I don’t need to be shown

I've gotta see it for myself

I've gotta learn it on my own

I need to know if I am flesh & bone

And am I still growing or full grown?

Am I still growing, or full grown?

Oh, ooh, yeah


[Verse 2]

She’s coming up for the rising like the dark before dawn

She has come to a place and she feels like her love’s gone

She has come of an age and a line should be drawn


He’s walking around in a tank top getting caught in a bluff

Little boys do not cry, don’t you think that you’re hot stuff?

Its real tough when your daddy don’t call you enough, oh


[Chrous]

But I need to know

I don’t need to be shown

I've gotta see it for myself

I've gotta learn it on my own

I need to know if I am flesh & bone

And am I still growing or full grown?

Am I still growing, or full grown?

Oh, ooh, yeah

Oh, ooh


[Bridge]

Striking matches to watch ‘em burn in my childhood bedrooms

Little time, little water and light, little seed, every bud blooms

And I've been striking matches to watch ‘em burn in my

childhood bedrooms, ooh

Little time, little water and light, little seed, every bud blooms, oh


There are days I need to tell myself I’m doing alright

My inner child and my ego get caught up in a knife fight

I get nervous, and then I will get out of sight


'Cause everybody I came up with says that I’m going too slow,

woah

But it’s cool though, 'cause I can hear my people when I check

out the show

I feel real low


[Chrous]

'Cause I need to know

I don’t need to be shown

I've gotta see it for myself

I've gotta learn it on my own

I need to know if I am flesh & bone

Am I still growing? I am a full grown


[Chrous]

'Cause I need to know

Oh, I don’t need to be shown

Gotta see it for myself

I've gotta learn it on my own

I need to know if I am flesh & bone

And am I still growing or full grown, honey?

Am I still growing, like a-a-a-ah

Oh, ooh, yeah
