Growing up (Its OK)
Growing Up
Take time, you know you're gonna lose it
Rewind, and try not to abuse it
This is the only moment where
All your dreams are in the air
And hopeless things just don't seem fair at all
Who's gonna catch me when I fall
I hear myself saying one day
I'm growing up
My toys and things turn into bills and rings
I'm old enough
To know what's right and wrong
I'm strong enough
To fight off everything that gets in my way
And I'm standing here where I was so afraid
And it's okay
I wake up and get in the shower
I've got only an hour
To brew my coffee, brush my teeth
And drive on off, down the street
For another day, another dollar earned
And in all these years, I've finally learned
I hear myself now, I'm saying always
I'm growing up
All my G.I. Joes are computers and clothes
I'm old enough
To make it on my own
I'm strong enough
To raise a family that cares for me
And I'll show them how, to laugh and sing and play
And it's okay
Make time for moments we're living
See the family on thanksgiving
And share your laughter, share your pain
And we'll laugh we'll cry we'll stuff our face
And we'll talk about, how we've been through it all
You always catch me when I fall
And I think about all the old days
I'm grown up
And my childhood dreams are a memory
I'm old enough
And soon I'm coming home
I'm strong enough
My family has a family
And they show me how they laugh and sing and play
And that's okay
That's okay
And I'm okay
Take time, you know you're gonna lose it
Rewind, and try not to abuse it
This is the only moment where
All your dreams are in the air
And hopeless things just don't seem fair at all
Who's gonna catch me when I fall
I hear myself saying one day
I'm growing up
My toys and things turn into bills and rings
I'm old enough
To know what's right and wrong
I'm strong enough
To fight off everything that gets in my way
And I'm standing here where I was so afraid
And it's okay
I wake up and get in the shower
I've got only an hour
To brew my coffee, brush my teeth
And drive on off, down the street
For another day, another dollar earned
And in all these years, I've finally learned
I hear myself now, I'm saying always
I'm growing up
All my G.I. Joes are computers and clothes
I'm old enough
To make it on my own
I'm strong enough
To raise a family that cares for me
And I'll show them how, to laugh and sing and play
And it's okay
Make time for moments we're living
See the family on thanksgiving
And share your laughter, share your pain
And we'll laugh we'll cry we'll stuff our face
And we'll talk about, how we've been through it all
You always catch me when I fall
And I think about all the old days
I'm grown up
And my childhood dreams are a memory
I'm old enough
And soon I'm coming home
I'm strong enough
My family has a family
And they show me how they laugh and sing and play
And that's okay
That's okay
And I'm okay
