I was laughing
Playing in the streets, I was unknowing
I didn't know my fate
Playing
The game of love, but never really showing
I thought that love could wait
I was a young girl and sure to go astray
You walked right into my life and told me love would find a way
To keep on growing, keep on growing
Keep on growing
I was standing
Looking in the face of one who loved me
Feeling so ashamed
Hoping
And praying, Lord, that he could understand me
But 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
As you keep on growing, keep on growing
Keep on growing, yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe
Someday baby, who knows where or when, Lord
Just you wait and see
We'll be walking
Together hand in hand, alone forever
Man just you and me
'Cause time is gonna change us, Lord, and I know it's true
Our love is gonna keep on glowing and growing and it's all we gotta do
Keep on growing, keep on growing
Keep on growing, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keep on growing, keep on growing
Keep on growing
