As You Grow

from Citizens by Owensie

lyrics

If spring's the dawning of the mind
Youth the summer of your life
Autumn the greying of the heart
And the winter long and cold

Defy the change in every year
The hope that died in shame of fear
The wearing greed of a thousand woes
Moving forward, on and on...

As you grow
Don't hide it
Let your love
And imagination flow

As you grow
Don't lose it
All your ghosts
Are the lessons you must learn

Last July
I made you cry
I told you to colour
Between the lines
I should have know better
Than be so cold
Bringing order to the fore

My own desire
To make things fit
A silhouette painted
With regret
An autumn grey cloak
On a million dreams
That I never noticed fall

As you grow
Don't hide it
Let your love
And imagination flow

As you grow
Don't lose it
All your ghosts
Are the lessons you must learn
