"Keep On Growing"

I was laughing
Playing in the streets
I was unknowing
I didn't know my fate

Playing
The game of love
But never really showing
And I thought that love could wait

I was a young girl
And sure to go astray
You walked right into my life and told me
Love would surely, surely find a way

Now keep on growing
Keep on growing
Keep on growing
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I was standing
Staring in the face
Of one who loved me
Feeling so ashamed

Hoping
And praying, Lord
That she could understand me
But I didn't know her name

She took this other hand
Told me I was wrong
She said, you're gonna be all right boy
Oh just as long

As you keep on growing
Keep on growing
Keep on growing
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Maybe
Someday baby
Who knows where or when, Lord
Just you wait and see

We'll be walking
Together hand in hand, alone forever
Just you and me

Now time is gonna change us, Lord
I know it's true
Our love is gonna keep on glowing
Growing, growing like we oughta do

Gotta keep on growing
Keep on growing
Keep on growing
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Gotta keep on growing
Keep on growing
Keep on growing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
