For best experience, listen to my music while reading this poem.
...
Grоwіng uр, I used to dream of being a star
Untіl reality set in and showed me who we are
Grоwіng uр, I thought money was the key
Untіl I learned that happiness is all I need
Grоwіng uр, I thought I knew what love was all about
Untіl I met my partner and they showed me what love's about
Grоwіng uр, I thought I had it all figured out
Untіl life threw me a curveball and I had to learn to scout
I'm on a journey, trying to find my way
Through the ups and downs, every single day
Grоwіng uр, I thought I had it all planned out
But now I know, it's just a journey with no route
Grоwіng uр, I thought success was all about fame
Untіl I realized it's about living life with no shame
Grоwіng uр, I thought I needed to impress
Untіl I learned to be myself, and that's the best
So now I'm living life, taking each day at a time
Laughing and smiling, making memories that are mine
Grоwіng uр, I thought I had to have it all
But now I know, it's the journey that makes life so small.
Grоwіng uр, I used to wannа be my Uncle Wayne
Untіl I saw his body layin' in the grave
Grоwіng up, I learned that life's not just a game
It's about living, loving, and making a change.
