Growing Up

Sunday afternoon, a dinner with your parents Mum puts out the chicken straight from the oven You hear the soda pops with all your siblings And then start the meal with a little praying

Fizzy drinks and warm conversation How's your day, how's your week Crazy intervention

The crazy thing about growing up is you don't do it alone The crazy thing about growing up is your parents do too Your parents do too So cheer the glasses and fix the dishes Someday you'll be a part of your own But right now, while they're here Do your best to always stay near

Happiness is often ephemeral But make sure to do your best to make it worthwhile Go for those long forest walks or under city skies Share a roof with them and exchange smiles

Bitter drinks and warm conversation How's your day, how's your week Crazy realisation

The crazy thing about growing up is you don't do it alone The crazy thing about growing up is your parents do too Your parents do too So cheer the glasses and fix the dishes Someday you'll be a part of your own But right now, while they're here Do your best to always stay near

It's an us It's a we It's a song that's meant to be But hear these words Like petrichor Let it remind you It comes after the rain

The crazy thing about growing up is you don't do it alone The crazy thing about growing up is your parents do too Your parents do too So cheer the glasses and fix the dishes Someday you'll be a part of your own
