Growing In Dirt Lyrics - Singles - John Popper

I am corruptible by name 

And I basically know how to master any simple game 

And I shall twist in the wind 

And like a blade of grass I'll survive and I'll win 

And grow in dirt 

And it can hurt 

To grow in dirt 

Sometimes it hurts 

I nourish by my labor and pain 

I burn up in the sun and I drown in the rain 

And I'm told that its good to grow 

But its not like there's a choice 

Because didn't you know 

We grow in dirt 

And it can hurt 

To grow in dirt 

Sometimes it hurts 

By every reprieve that I choose to believe 

With every code that I stand by 

I'm just a man with a stick in my hand 

And I helplessly jab at the sky 

Its my nature to try 

Helps the time pass by 

And I have this real need to talk loud 

For I'm so meek and humble 

It makes me arrogant and proud 

And I won't be afraid to die 

For I shall live forever 

And here's my reason why 

I grow in dirt 

And its gonna hurt 

To grow in dirt 

Sometimes it hurts 

To grow in dirt 

Sometimes it hurts
