WHILE YOU GROW

“While You Grow”

Verse 1

We held you first in trembling hands,

Tiny dreams, unbroken plans,

The nights were long, the days flew by,

Blink once more and time went by.

Pre-Chorus

We taught you how to walk, then run,

Now you’re chasing your own sun.

Chorus

Life goes up, life goes down,

You learn to fly, we stay on the ground,

Every step you take away,

Still you’re never far, you’ll always stay.

We cheer you on, we let you go,

With hearts that ache but overflow,

While you grow… while you grow.

Verse 2

Scraped knees, tears we kissed away,

Laughter filling every day,

Then doors slammed, voices changed,

Suddenly the world rearranged.

Pre-Chorus

You see things now we can’t control,

You’re finding strength inside your soul.

Chorus

Life goes up, life goes down,

You learn your truth, we learn somehow,

To trust the road you choose to take,

Even when our hearts might break.

We stand behind, not in the way,

Loving you more with every day,

While you grow… while you grow.

Bridge

One day the house is quiet still,

Shoes by the door, time standing still,

But in every room, every wall,

Your echoes answer when we call.

Final Chorus

Life goes up, life goes down,

You carry pieces of us now,

Every fall, every win,

You’re stronger than you’ve ever been.

And when the world feels cold or slow,

There’s always home, you always know,

We’re right here… as you grow.

Outro

We don’t stay behind…

We live on in you.
