## Lyrics

(Verse 1)

In the twilight of my youth, I used to dream,

Of endless summers, and skies so blue it seemed,

That time stood still, and we were forever young,

But life keeps moving, and we can't outrun.

(Pre-Chorus)

The days turned to years, and the years to dust,

In the blink of an eye, we left behind our trust,

But don't be afraid, don't be sad, my friend,

For growing up's a journey that never really ends.

(Chorus)

We've grown, like trees in the forest tall,

Our roots run deep, and we stand strong, not to fall,

Through the laughter and tears, we've become who we are,

Grown into the person, we once wished upon a star.

(Verse 2)

The playgrounds we played in, the secrets we'd share,

The innocence we had, it's all in the air,

But now we face a world so vast and unknown,

With each passing day, more of ourselves is shown.

(Pre-Chorus)

The days turned to years, and the years to dust,

In the blink of an eye, we left behind our trust,

But don't be afraid, don't be sad, my friend,

For growing up's a journey that never really ends.

(Chorus)

We've grown, like trees in the forest tall,

Our roots run deep, and we stand strong, not to fall,

Through the laughter and tears, we've become who we are,

Grown into the person, we once wished upon a star.

(Bridge)

We've faced our fears and learned to mend,

Our broken hearts, and the wounds that won't bend,

With every challenge, we've become more wise,

As we spread our wings and reach for the skies.

(Chorus)

We've grown, like trees in the forest tall,

Our roots run deep, and we stand strong, not to fall,

Through the laughter and tears, we've become who we are,

Grown into the person, we once wished upon a star.

(Outro)

So let's embrace the journey, wherever it leads,

With the memories of our youth, like a pocketful of seeds,

We'll keep growing, evolving, and reaching for the light,

For in the story of our lives, every day's a new height.
