Today is the day-I just grew up,
I have left the last trial to become a man
I resign far away from the people I love
My girlfriend, my mom, my sis
I'm not gonna see them for a long time
But anyway- tomorrow I'll become a man
Still the sun has not risen, but I'm outside
Kissing the filth till rain slips down my cheek.
I'm shooting at the wooden man
I'm prodding at the women of sand
Cleaning others boots until the flag rises into the air.
For all this time I have learned to be blind,
I have learned to be dumb,
I have learned to hate,
I have learned how to punish,
I've become a man; I've become a soldier
