Growing Up
Run River North Lyrics

There's a fight to be won
You must work hard for the love and happiness found at home.

For the love you find at home.
The love and support found at home is worth fighting for.

Work to be done
There is always work that needs to be done before you can rest.

Before you rest your weary bones.
Resting only comes after hard work.

I'm finding peace don't come
Peace and happiness is not guaranteed for everyone.

To everyone I know,
Most people don't find peace and happiness.

So I will love in this life
The solution is to love as much as possible.

Until I finally have to go.
Love should be given until the end of your days.

Said I will love in this life
Repeat: Love as much as possible.

Well I know I have lived
I've only lived a small part of my life.

Just a wrinkle of my life,
My life is still young.

And I hear so many times
People say that life goes by quickly.

It'll be over if I blink twice.
Life is short.

Please forgive if I don't walk
I'm not going to follow the crowd.

Off that plank stuck in your eye.
I won't take advice from people who don't know me.

I've got my life to love
I'm going to live my life my way.

And I'm here to take what's mine.
I deserve to live my life as I want.

Growing up child
Growing up is inevitable.

Is just a matter of time,
It happens as time passes.

For giving all you've got,
One must give everything you have to make the most of life.

So won't you dance under the sun.
Enjoy life while you can.

Growing old
Getting old happens.

Feels like you're giving up your soul.
It may feel like you're losing yourself as you get older.

I'd rather give it freely
I want to give myself to the people who matter most.

To the ones that I call home.
Family and close friends are who I care about most.

I ain't scared, no not afraid
I'm not scared to live life.

Of the world in front of me.
I'm not afraid of the future.

I found my way without your help
I don't need others to tell me how to live my life.

With a broken family.
Even with a family that has issues, I can still find my way.

I'll take my breaks with my sins,
I'm not perfect.

I'll do as I do please
I'm going to do things my way.

With my friends 'til the end,
My friends are the most important in my life.

There lies my loyalty.
My loyalty lies with my friends.

I used to close my eyes
I used to be ignorant.

To what stirred under my bed,
I didn't want to deal with my problems.

Now they're open wide
But now I'm aware.

To the monsters in my bed.
I'm ready to face my problems head-on.

Instead of claws, they whisper lies
My problems often come in the form of lies and negativity.

Sinking fear in quiet steps,
This negativity slowly affects my life.

So I will fight in the light
But I refuse to let it affect me.

'Til I give my final breath.
I will fight until the end of my days.

Oh I will fight in the light
Repeat: I will fight.

Growing up child
Growing up is still a matter of time.

Is just a matter of time,
It will happen no matter what.

For giving all you've got,
Giving everything you have is still the way.

So won't you dance under the sun.
Enjoy life while you can.

Growing old
Getting old is guaranteed.

Feels like you're giving up your soul.
But you don't have to lose yourself.

I'd rather give it freely
I want to give myself to the people who matter most.

To the ones that I call home.
My family and friends are who matter most.

Growing up child
Once again, growing up is a guarantee.

Is just a matter of time,
It will happen, there's no changing that.

For giving all you've got,
So live life all out.

So won't you dance under the sun.
Enjoy life to the fullest.

Growing old
Getting older happens to us all.

Feels like you're giving up your soul.
It may feel like your losing your identity.

I'd rather give it freely
Give yourself to the ones you care about most.

To the ones that I call home.
Family and friends mean everything.
