[Verse 1]
Don't let them paint you gray
They're gonna see you're somebody, somewhere, someday
Don't ever let them take your playful heart away
Oh, you're somebody nobody could replicate
Yeah, I already know there's only one of you
That the world is gonna see another side of you
And though the tide's been rising, since the pride of youth
Oh, I know that we're gonna see laughing like you used to do
Yeah, from now, now, now

[Chorus]
From now on, we're gonna find a new song
It goes, "I knew you as a cub and now you've grown into a lion"

[Verse 2]
When I go back to the start
You'd lost a bit of rhythm in the beat of your heart
You were like a queen of diamonds in a tower of cards
So easily blown over when the going got hard
But the best thing about this love is
We don't see old smoke
We only see the new fire
We say, "I knew you as a cub and now you've grown into a lion"
Oh from now, now, now
[Chorus]
From now on, we're gonna find a new song
It goes, "I knew you as a cub and now you've grown into a lion"

[Outro]
Oh, they can laugh if they like
Because this time you know you're right
You can feel the whisper growing inside
Oh, they can laugh if they like
Because this time you know you're right
You can feel the whisper growing inside
Oh, they can laugh if they like
Because this time you know you're right
You can feel the whisper growing inside
Oh, they can laugh if they like
Because this time you know you're right
You can feel the whisper growing inside
