As I grew up I was told
That Jesus watches over me
That freedom trumps equality
That success is measured materially
As you grew up you were told
That there is no god, only the people
That one should never stand out as an individual
That saving face and living in harmony is the ultimate goal
I believe that all I was told is true
You believe all you were told is too
If I’d grown up you, and you’d grown up me
What different people we’d be … or would we?
