I was laughing, playing in the streets
I was unknowing; I didn't know about things
Then he came along, but never really showed me
I thought that love could wait

I was a young girl. I was sure to go astray
You walked right into my life and told me
Love would find a way, find a way, yeah
Gotta keep on growing
Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I was standing, looking in the face
Of one who loved me, feeling so ashamed
Hoping, I pray the Lord, that he could understand me
And I didn't know his name

He took my hand in his and told me I was wrong
He said, you're gonna be all right girl
Oh just as long, just as long...
Gotta keep on growing
Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Baby, someday maybe, who knows where or when, Lord
Just you wait and see. Let me hold you
Together hand in hand, alone forever;
'Cause I want just you and me

This time is gonna change it all, I know it's true;
Our love is gonna keep on growing
And growing's all we gotta do, all we gotta do, yeah

Oh, got to keep on growing
Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gotta keep on growing
Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing
Staring, looking in the face of the one that loved me
Gotta keep on growing
Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing, oh yeah
I was a young girl
You said love will find a way
Love will find a way
Gotta keep on growing...
