Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Growing up can be a pain
You're not a man until you come of age
We've given up our teenage years
In the effort to pursue our career
[Verse 2]
Who assumes responsibility
Of having to support our families?
Who's protecting us from harm?
Is there anyone around that we can trust?
[Verse 3]
So, we search for answers to our questions
Looking for the answers
No answers but we are taught a lesson every time
Through mistakes we've learned to gather wisdom
Life's responsibility falls in our hands
[Verse 4]
Keep on learning, keep on growing
Wisdom helps us understand
We're maturing without knowing
These are the things that change boys to men
[Verse 5]
Oh, the goals we set may exceed reality
'Cause failure always is a possibility
Who can tell us that we're wrong?
It's up to us to figure out what life is all about
[Verse 6]
So, we search for answers to our questions
Looking for the anwers
No answers but we are taught a lesson every time
Through mistakes we've learned to gather wisdom
And wisdom helps us see our responsibility
[Verse 7]
Keep on learning, keep on growing
Wisdom helps us understand
We're maturing without knowing
These are the things that change boys to men
[Verse 8]
Keep on learning, keep on growing
Yeah, growing up can be a pain
We're maturing without knowing
All you have to do, all you have do is hold on, hold on, hold on
[Verse 9]
Yeah, keep on growing
We're maturing without knowing
You see life's responsibilities falls in our hand, falls in our hand
Keep on learning, keep on growing
[Verse 10]
No answers but we are taught a lesson every time
We're maturing without knowing
Ah, ah, ah
