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

What I am trying to say, hey, hey

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

Just when I've learned all I can

Those growing pains up and kick on in again

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

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

What I am trying to say, hey, hey

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

These growing pains...

Oh, baby, don't worry about a thang

Thank you

Thank you very much

Thank you, thank you!
