Growing... Oh, you're growing!
To my younger self,
I did not know
I did not sow
Oh, how you’ve come to grow
In this battle I must have shown
How weak and jaded I’ve become
Ridden with burden and distrust,
Colored with grey hues of disgust,
The scars that define me now guide me,
Locked away in battle with heart
But in the wake of this sorrow and pain,
I look to the stars above,
Glistening and guiding me along the way,
The tears that stream down the river,
Have trapped a fish without water,
It must escape,
It must escape,
Just like I must escape,
In my hope,
And this despair
I must confess
I always knew you at your best
And in your worst,
You must forgive,
Find a way to escape
Like a fish without water,
Gasping for air,
You must bare
For better days are yet to come
Now knowing,
I am sowing,
Oh, look at how much you are growing
