Growing Up
another day
another dawn
in the life of little john
he walks home
in the rain
heavy with pain
momma asks
johnny lies
silently he cries
size doesn't matter
they always said
he was afraid
another day
another dawn
in the life of john
he drives home
sky blue as sea
the sun shiny
his wife awaits
johnny cries
proudly, he smiles
it gets better
they always said
they were right
he grew up
