It's time to tell white lies
Time to feed your confidence
In yourself it's time to make you fly
It's time to hold you down
Show the ropes around your life
So you can take control
Yes, you will be free
Once you know what's good for thee
But tonight you really need
A little less understanding
I know how it must feel
You're like a younger version of me
I don't wanna build
The enslaving bridge of vanities
Amenities
To lose you to the game
That only values glitter and fame
A foundation that is frail
Yes, you will be free
Once you know what's good for thee
But tonight you really need
A little less understanding
I know how it must feel
You're like a younger version of me
Yes, you will be free
You will decide what's good for thee
But like we all, you sometimes need
A little less understanding
I know how you feel
You're like a younger version of me
I can feel the wrath of a cryin' child
As you crash the gates of your tiny life
For the very first time in your life
You would rather chew off your own tail
What you really want isn't what you need
Maybe one is enough, It'll feed your need
I only want the best for you
Your prision's like a mansion with a view
Yes, you will be free
Once you know what's good for thee
But tonight you really need
A little less understanding
I know how you feel
You're like a younger version of me
Yes, you will be free
You will decide what's good for thee
But like we all, you sometimes need
A little less understanding
I know how you feel
You're like a younger version of me
Yes, you will be free
To choose the walk of life you believe
Gives you everything you need
And little more understanding
The windowpane of life
You only see the stains in the sunlight
