| I was laughing, playing in the streets,
|
| I was unknowing; |
| I didn’t know about things.
|
| Then he came along, but never really showed me,
|
| I thought that love could wait.
|
| I was a young girl. |
| I was sure to go astray.
|
| You walked right into my life and told me Love would find a way, find a way, yeah.
|
| Gotta keep on growing,
|
| Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing.
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
| I was standing, looking in the face
|
| Of one who loved me, feeling so ashamed.
|
| Hoping, I pray the Lord, that he could understand me,
|
| And I didn’t know his name.
|
| He took my hand in his and told me I was wrong.
|
| He said, you’re gonna be all right girl,
|
| Oh just as long, just as long…
|
| Gotta keep on growing,
|
| Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing,
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
| Baby, someday maybe, who knows where or when, Lord,
|
| Just you wait and see. |
| Let me hold you,
|
| Together hand in hand, alone forever;
|
| 'Cause I want just you and me.
|
| This time is gonna change it all, I know it’s true;
|
| Our love is gonna keep on growing
|
| And growing’s all we gotta do, all we gotta do, yeah.
|
| Oh, got to keep on growing,
|
| Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing.
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
| Gotta keep on growing,
|
| Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing.
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
| Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing,
|
| Staring, looking in the face of the one that loved me.
|
| Gotta keep on growing,
|
| Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing, oh yeah,
|
| I was a young girl,
|
| You said love will find a way,
|
| Love will find a way.
|
| Gotta keep on growing… |
