Grow

Like a young child
Learning to walk
Or a small toddler
Mastering the talk
Stumbling is inevitable
Tripping is part of life
Get up, keep going
You’ll learn in time
So I grow
Reap what I sow
And all I know
Becomes a part of me
So I grow
Reap what I sow
All I need to know
Is Love
That big dissapointment
That massive sorrow
That makes you feel
You can’t face tomorrow
Get up, get going
Wipe the tears away
Every single morning
Can be new year’s day
So I grow
Reap what I sow
And all I know
Becomes a part of me
So I grow
Reap what I sow
All I need to know
Is Love
When the pain seemed too deep to breathe
When I saw no way out
That’s when I became a warrior
That’s when I learned to overcome
So I grow
Reap what I sow
And all I know
Becomes a part of me
So I grow
Reap what I sow
All I need to know
Is Love
