The Dance of Growing Up

Step into the mirror, see the you inside

Learning how to walk, learning how to fly

Every little stumble, every fall and rise

This is the way, to the open skies

Found my rhythm in a quiet song

Learning how to dance, where my heart belongs

It’s in the laughter, in the tears we share

Growing stronger, with every stare

Falling in love, not just a game

It’s in the small moments that we claim

Understanding who I am

Building up to being a man

Learning how to love, learning how to dance

Taking every chance, learning to advance

Growing up, reaching out, becoming more

Open windows, knocking on the door

Making friends, standing tall and true

This is the world I’m learning to pursue

Being a friend, it’s a precious art

Listening close, speaking from the heart

It’s in the kindness and the honesty

Becoming who I’m meant to be

Falling in love, not just a game

It’s in the small moments that we claim

Understanding who I am

Building up to being a man

Learning how to love, learning how to dance

Taking every chance, learning to advance

Growing up, reaching out, becoming more

Open windows, knocking on the door

Making friends, standing tall and true

This is the world I’m learning to pursue

and

Every step, a brand new start

Learning lessons, following my heart

Timing, patience, courage, grace

Finding my own place in this space

So here I stand, ready to grow

Learning how to love and letting it show

With every swing, every chance I take

I find myself, in every mistake

Learning how to be, just who I am

Learning how to love and understand

This is the journey, this is the dance

Growing up, taking my chance
