Growing Up
by Joseph O'Brien

Album: Growing Up - Single

Verse 1
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

Chorus
How will I grow if 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

Post-Chorus
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

Verse 2
My mother's words can be a 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
I can't stand straight if every truth spent the night back home

Chorus
How will I grow if 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
(Grow up at all)

Post-Chorus
Ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh (Ah-ah-ah)

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

Pre-Chorus
How will I grow if don't grow up at all
How will I know if I don't know how to fall

Chorus
How will I grow if 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
How will I grow if I don't grow up at all
How will I grow if I don't grow up at all
