(Mark Heard)

Strong man strangles universe--he drowns the stars
Blinded by the mission of a thousand wars
He's fit and dominant--no wonder why
He loves the battle cry

Strong man is survivor--he lives to pound
Little wooden crosses in the bloody ground
He's fit and dominant--his will is truth
His hand is absolute

And the world keeps on turning
And the sun keeps on burning
And the children keep learning
How to grow up big and strong
How to grow up big and strong

Strong man takes no prisoner--favors no plea
He leaves no gold in teeth of enemy
He's fit and dominant--rises above
He has no word that means love

And the world keeps on turning
And the sun keeps on burning
And the children keep learning
How to grow up big and strong
How to grow up big and strong

And the world keeps on turning
And the sun keeps on burning
And the children keep learning
How to grow up big and strong
How to grow up big and strong
How to grow up big and strong
