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
