Grow Up

I used to hold a guitar in my bedroom light Chasing after shadows in the dead of night Thought a spark of passion was enough to fly No safety net, just looking at the sky But dreams get heavy when the rain comes down And silent fears start to make a sound I ran away from the sweat and the tears Built a wall of doubt out of all my fears Afraid to fall, afraid to try again Wondering if this is where the stories end But I’m falling, I’m learning! The fire’s still burning! Now I see the pages turning in my hand Growing up is learning how to make a stand Books on the table, choices in my eyes Investing in the time where the future lies It’s not about a destiny pre-made It’s about the promises that won’t fade I will stumble, I will shake With every single step I take But I don’t need the answers anymore I know the ground I’m fighting for! One, two, three, let’s go! Even if I fall, I’ll stand up! Even in the dark, I won’t stop! This is how I grow up! Yeah, this is how I grow up! Still afraid sometimes, but I’m on my way Standing in the light of a brand new day
