Growing Pains

Lyrics

[Intro]
Remember when I first showed you how to breathe
How to stand so quietly beneath the trees?
Some lessons take time, some lessons we find
Along the way, day after day
[Verse 1]
This morning's frost painted silver on your face
You're carrying that weight with so much grace
I see my reflection in your patient eyes
As dawn paints watercolors 'cross the skies
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder if you know what I can see
The way you're growing, changing endlessly
How do you learn so fast?
How do these moments last?
[Chorus]
Some shots you take (some shots you take)
Some shots you let go
Some shots you make (some shots you make)
And that's how you grow
Oh-whoa, how do you learn so fast?
Oh-whoa, these moments never last
[Verse 2]
Your footsteps match mine in the morning light
Your breath makes clouds as stars fade from sight
I remember when these boots were too big
Now you're walking steady on this mountain ridge
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder if you feel what I can see
The way you're changing, growing endlessly
How do you learn so fast?
How do these moments last?
[Chorus]
Some shots you take (some shots you take)
Some shots you let go
Some shots you make (some shots you make)
And that's how you grow
Oh-whoa, how do you learn so fast?
Oh-whoa, these moments never last
[Bridge]
One day you'll understand
Why we rise before the land
Why patience is the key
To everything you'll be
And maybe you'll be standing here
Teaching what I taught you, year after year
[Outro]
Some shots you take (how do you learn so fast?)
Some shots you let go (these moments never last)
Some shots you make (how do you learn so fast?)
And that's how you grow
