Rich Mullins - Growing Young Lyrics
I've gone so far from my homeI've seen the world and I have knownSo many secretsI wish now I did not know'Cause they have crept into my heartThey have left it cold and darkAnd bleeding,Bleeding and falling apartAnd everybody used to tell me big boys don't cryWell I've been around enough to know that that was the lieThat held back the tears in the eyes of a thousand prodigal sonsWell we are children no more, we have sinned and grown oldAnd our Father still waits and He watches down the roadTo see the crying boys come running back to His armsAnd be growing youngGrowing youngI've seen silver turn to drossSeen the very best there ever wasAnd I'll tell you, it ain't worth what it costsAnd I remember my father's houseWhat I wouldn't give right nowJust to see him and hear him tell me that he loves me so muchAnd everybody used to tell me big boys don't cryWell I've been around enough to know that that was the lieThat held back the tears in the eyes of a thousand prodigal sonsWell we are children no more, we have sinned and grown oldAnd our Father still waits and He watches down the roadTo see the crying boys come running back to His armsAnd when I thought that I was all aloneIt was your voice I heard calling me back homeAnd I wonder now LordWhat it was that made me wait so longAnd what kept You waiting for me all that timeWas Your love stronger than my foolish prideWill You take me back now, take me back and let me be Your child'Cause I've been broken now, I've been savedI've learned to cry, and I've learned how to prayAnd I'm learning, Ic12
