I was small in my old
skin
Counting change and learning to stand
Hands too light,
heart too restless
Now I can hold what I
couldn't then
You were there in the hard
days
When the rain came through and
the floorboards groaned I kept saying,
"I can't yet"
Now I'm building with my own
two bones Little by little,
brick by brick I kept my
promise, I grew up quick Little
by little,
I became Someone who can say
your name My life is growing
up To be able to give
you My life is growing up
To be able to give you
Take what you need
It's yours tonight Take what I
make With all my life
Got a table with extra chairs
Got a cabinet full of clean
white plates Got a bag by
the front door
With the good things I used
to save No more scared of
the long road
No more folding my dreams in
half I can bring you home
to a full hand I can
give you more than I had
Little by little,
brick by brick I kept my
promise, I grew up quick Little
by little,
I became Someone who can say
your name My life is growing
up To be able to give
you My life is growing up
To be able to give you
Take what you need It's yours
tonight Take what I make With
all my life
If I was a line in
the dust Now I'm a road
you can trust If I was
a wish in the dark Now
I'm a light in your hands
I didn't bloom for the view
I bloomed so I
could come through And lay it
all at your door Say I
got you once more My life
is growing up To be able
to give you My life is
growing up To be able to
give you Take what you need
It's yours tonight Take what I
make With all my life My
life is growing up To be
able to give you My life
is growing up To be able
to give you Take what you
need
It's yours tonight Take what I
make With all my life
