Growing Young by Rich Mullins (full lyrics) I've gone so far from my home I've seen the world, and I have known So many secrets I wish now I did not know 'Cos they have crept into my heart They have left it cold and dark And bleeding And bleeding and falling apart And everybody used to tell me, "Big boys don't cry" But I've been around enough to know that that was the lie That held back the tears in the eyes of a thousand prodigal sons Well, we are children no more We have sinned and grown old And our Father still waits, and He watches down the road To see the crying boys come running back to His arms And be growing young I've seen silver turn to dross Seen the very best there ever was And I'll tell you, it ain't worth what it cost And I remember my Father's house What I wouldn't give right now Just to see him And hear Him tell me that He loves me so much And everybody used to tell me, "Big boys don't cry" But I've been around enough to know that that was the lie That held back the tears in the eyes of a thousand prodigal sons Well, we are children no more We have sinned and grown old And our Father still waits, and He watches down the road To see the crying boys come running back to His arms And when I thought that I was all alone It was Your voice I heard calling me back home And I wonder now, Lord, what was it made me wait so long And what kept You waiting for me all that time? Was Your love stronger than my foolish pride? Would you take me back, Lord? Take me back and let me be Your child? 'Cos I've been broken now; I've been saved I've learned to cry, and I've learned how to pray And I'm learning I'm learning, even I can be changed And everybody used to tell me, "Big boys don't cry" But I've been around enough to know that that was the lie That held back the tears in the eyes of a thousand prodigal sons Well, we are children no more We have sinned and grown old And our Father still waits, and He watches down the road To see the crying boys come running back to His arms And be growing young Growing young.....
