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 man 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 she could understand me
But I didn't know her name

She took my hand in hers and told me I was wrong
She said, you're gonna be all right boy, 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
Woman 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
