My daddy used to say
One day I'll be great
despite the way I am
I know I can make a change
Few years down the line
He became so great
'Twas by the grace of God
That he ever made it far
You know the words we say
Can affect our lives
You are justified
by the words that you say
If you just believe
It will surely work
Why not try again
And reach for the sky

When you grow someday
Learn to say okay
To the major things
That are good for your soul
When you grow someday
Learn to say I'm fine
You know the little things
Can really make a change
When you grow someday

I'm gonna dust my back
And accept the chance
To make it right
To live a better life
I'm gonna learn today
How to grow from pain
Despite the many flaws
I am ready for the game

When you grow someday
Learn to make a smile
You know a happy soul
Will live a longer life
When you grow someday
Learn to say I'm sorry
It's like a magic word
That can heal a broken heart
When you grow someday
Learn to make a prayer
God's is still listening
He is waiting for your call
When you grow someday
Learn to call a friend
We have a better world
When you stretch a loving arm
When you grow someday
Learn to say Alright
I'll try again
This is how you learn from pain
When you grow someday

When you grow someday
Learn to say okay
To the major things
That are good for your soul
When you grow someday
