You said I had growing up to do,
Many years have come and passed me by,
Still I know all things come to pass
Now that the growing up is done,
Place my finger before your lips.
BY: Anthony AJ Jackson
And though I didn't know it,
You spoke the truth.
Leaving their lessons
And their reasons to cry.
So I am leaving behind the child
To become a man at last.
I feel no need to rush, no need to run.
Just walk right up, slow and steady
And announce to you, baby, I am finally ready.
Shush you, let my confession slip
That we love you still...
After all these years...
After all those tears...
This man and boy always will.
