Grow

On those days that changed your life, the days that we were born You promised us eternally that you would help us grow To guide us with your big strong hands, to help us you had sworn How now, what we would be like, well, that you could not know You tickled us to make us laugh You held us when we cried You worked so hard day and night For your family to provide When we would cry all night long When we’d break something someway When we would say “that isn’t fair” You would say “I love you anyway” Now we are on our own And we would just like to let you know That we are who we are today Because you promised us eternally to help us grow.
