about

A song that started off about one thing and just kind of took on a life of its own, so I went with it. The original inspiration was a parenting book I was reading on "The Strong-Willed Child". Of course I discovered that the apple never falls far from the tree. An old cliche? Of course, but those cliches got to be that way for a reason.

lyrics

I’m just a strong willed child
And now you got me all riled
How could you do this again?
And I don’t know when you dreamed
that I could pretend that I
could ever ever be denied.

And now I feel it just like a
volcano about to blow up into
flames
And it’s you coming through
me askin’ what’s it to me now
You don’t remember my name
You don’t remember my name

I’m just that strong willed child
I wish that I could be mild
But we both know I’m a pain
But I can’t defend against what comes round the bend
It’s just too much for this brain to take
And please don’t tell me I’m someone that you didn’t know; I don’t need that cliche.
Please don’t tell me I’m someone that you didn’t love.
That won’t be my mistake.
That won’t be my mistake.

We’re strong willed children
Will we ever grow up?
I don’t think so

I hear the call of the wild
It’s ringing over my files
It’s got a tooth in my ear
So now what can I do but make this call out to you hoping that you will hear me comin’ out over the radio so high defies gravity
And you stare into your small world to find your own way forward now, and it’s still so hard to see. It’s just so hard to see. It’s still so hard to see. It’s just so very hard to see.
