Growing Pains

You would think that I could find a simple song, a photograph of mine

To show this public eye, what I have to offer

I may not have a PHD, or speak in eloquent philosophy!

I'm nothing more than simply me you see!

CHORUS(*1):

What I am trying to say

I'm just a babe in so many ways!

I'm still growing, still stretchin'

Still breaking in these new shoes

Looking for a way to make a mark of my own

I'm just a spring chick, wet behind the ears

It's a part of life so there's no need to fear

These growing pains that I'm going through

I don't regret, I'm not ashamed that I haven't yet begun to speaketh ways...

(As the wisest of men), oh perhaps some day

But for now I'm grateful to be a part of the family tree, while The Man upstairs does His work on me

It's a job that may take eternity to complete

CHORUS(*2):

Just when I've learned all I can, those growing

Pains up and kick on in again!

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

Time after time, one more time and again, will it ever end?

It's the lessons in our lives that make us wise

But young or old I am told it's the same

Oh, these growing pains never go away, so I'll just keep on trying

Music break

CHORUS(*1)

CHORUS

Oh, baby don't worry about a thang!
