Epica

Hey

Little boy you're not allowed to stay

You have to evolve inevitably

And I've sure come a long way



The road up ahead is so unclear

Back slidin down the bottom of beer

Nobody knew if I would make it here



Sweet music set me free

From the statistic that I started to be

I wish my mama was alive to see



The memories of pain have scarred

And when I fall it's usually hard

But I get up and keep followin' God



Hey, I'm Gettin' grown, (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown

I'm Gettin grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown, hey



Now I remember the good ol' days

Broads and boxes and blunts to blaze

Now I got three children to raise



I never won't be perfect I know

But workin on it is worth it I know

Life is just learning as you go



Been selfish once or twice

I had to learn how to sacrifice

To live to my late nineties be nice



Every day that goes by I find

It either hits me or it robs me blind

God I owe you this life of mine



I'm gettin grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown,

I'm gettin grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown

(whistling)



Oooo, time changed but it feels the same,

There's no tellin what tommorow will bring,

Even if I could I wouldn't change a thang



Hey, Lord I know I'm not here to stay

But thanks for wakin' me up today

Prepare me for what may come my way



Say, young man, there's no need to cry

Because I know you will get by

Look your destiny in the eye



Everyday my heart burns to try

You got to walk before you learn to fly

And we all got to earn to die



I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
