The Soviettes

I watched you grow older
I watched you struggle to find your own feet and stand
I measured your footsteps, starts, and stutters as you learned to be your own man
Now I know you'll be happy
And I know that you're scared
But I know you'll be ready
When you come back I'll be here
I know she beckons this world like a lover with cities of promise and hope
But be careful boy they say she's a monster whose lies swallow grown men whole
Now I know that you're ready
Cause I know you'll be strong
And I know you'll be happy
When you come back I'll be gone
Well I know that you're ready
And I know that you're strong
And I know that you're happy
When you come back I'll be gone
