Keep On Growing

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...
