Jesus
How is it to be an adult
Do you wake up tired
Or happy to start the day
Do you still get scared
When things don’t go your way

Jesus
Is your heart ever too full
Do you hide your tears
Or let them fall sometimes
Do adults know the answers
Or just pretend they’re fine

Jesus
Is it hard to grow up
Every day
And not forget who you were
Jesus
When we become like them
Will we still hear
What our hearts say first

Jesus
Do adults still need help
Or do they walk alone
Even when they’re weak
Do they still need love
As much as when they’re small

(Hmm hmm)

Jesus
If being grown means loving more
We are not afraid
To grow one day
Jesus
If we forget how to be small
Please remind us
To love this way
