Growing Young
I've gone so far from my home
I've seen the world
And I have known
So many secrets
I wish now I did not know
'Cause they have crept into my heart
They have left it cold and dark
And bleeding
Bleeding and falling apart
And everybody used to tell me
Big boys don't cry
Well, I've been around enough to know
That that was the lie
That held back the tears
In the eyes of a thousand prodigal sons
Well, we are children no more
We have sinned and grown old
And our Father still waits
And He watches down the road
To see the crying boys
Come running back to His arms
And be growing young, nah, nah
Growing young, nah, nah, nah, nah
I've seen silver
Turn to dross
Seen the very best
There ever was
And I'll tell you
It ain't worth what it costs
And I remember
My father's house
What I wouldn't
Give right now
Just to see him
And hear him tell me
That he loves me so much
And everybody used to tell me
Big boys don't cry
Well, I've been around enough to know
That that was the lie
That held back the tears
In the eyes of a thousand prodigal sons
Well, we are children no more
We have sinned and grown old
And our Father still waits
And He watches down the road
To see the crying boys
Come running back to His arms
And when I thought
That I was all alone
It was your voice I heard
Calling me back home
And I wonder now, Lord
What it was that made me wait too long
And what kept You waiting
For me all that time
Was Your love stronger
Than my foolish pride
Will You take me back now
Take me back and
Let me be Your child
'Cause I've been broken now
I've been saved
I've learned to cry and
I've learned how to pray
And I'm learning
I'm learning even I can be changed
And everybody used to tell me
Big boys don't cry
Well, I've been around enough to know
That that was the lie
That held back the tears
In the eyes of a thousand prodigal sons
Well, we are children no more
We have sinned and grown old
And our Father still waits
And He watches down the road
To see the crying boys
Come running back to His arms
And be growing young, nah, nah, nah
Growing young, nah, nah, nah
Growing
I've seen the world
And I have known
So many secrets
I wish now I did not know
'Cause they have crept into my heart
They have left it cold and dark
And bleeding
Bleeding and falling apart
And everybody used to tell me
Big boys don't cry
Well, I've been around enough to know
That that was the lie
That held back the tears
In the eyes of a thousand prodigal sons
Well, we are children no more
We have sinned and grown old
And our Father still waits
And He watches down the road

Come running back to His arms
And be growing young, nah, nah
Growing young, nah, nah, nah, nah
