Growing Up Songtext
von Joseph O'Brien

I cannot listen to every word that′s said
Everyone's got their own opinion to protect
You′ll do well to take most words with a grain of salt
'Cause most answers don't reside in human thoughts

How will I grow if I don′t grow up at all?
How will I know if I don′t know how to fall?
Can't return this independence, I must learn to take the hardest calls
′Cause how will I grow if I don't, grow up at all?

My mother′s words can be a melody hands down (melody hands down)
My father's wisdom could present me with no doubt
But as a man, I want a faith I call my own (faith I call my own)
I can′t stand straight if every truth spent the night back home


How will I grow if I don't grow up at all? (Grow up at all)
How will I know if I don't know how to fall? (Know how to fall)
Can′t return this independence, I must learn to take the hardest calls
′Cause how will I grow if I don't, grow up at all? (Grow up at all)

Now I′m reaching, now I'm seeking
It′s the season, it's the time (it′s the time)
Time to say a prayer and fly

To grow in wisdom, grow in stature
Grow in favour with my God (with my God)
But it's okay to call your folks when you're not fine

How will I grow if I don′t grow up at all?
How will I know if I don′t know how to fall?
How will I grow if I don't grow up at all?
How will I know if I don′t know how to fall? (Know how to fall)
Can't return this independence, I must learn to take the hardest calls
So how will I grow if I don′t, grow up at all? (Grow up at all)
How will I grow if I don't, grow up at all? (Grow up at all)
How will I grow if I don′t, grow up at all? (Grow up at all)
