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.
