Story Behind The Song

No one seems to ever feel like they are really "grown up." I guess as long as we have dreams to look forward to.we still fell like we are on the way.

Song Description

Fantasizing about some of the many options that life has to offer.

Lyrics

When I grow Up
By Maren Orion

When I grow up I want to fly and air-o-plane
Over the mountains to the rocky coast of Maine

I want to be a weaver spinning stories into gold,
and have 9 children who do just what they?re told

CHORUS:
When I grow up, who knows when that will be
There are just so many possibilities
I know it doesn?t matter which road I travel on
When I grow up, I just want to sing my song

When I grow up I will teach the kids at school
That everyone is special, everyone is cool

There is no mountain that is too high to climb,
And even you or I could turn water into wine

CHORUS

When I grow up I will live out on some land,
Grow my own vegetables to freeze and dry and can

Live in a house that I built with my own hands,
When I grow up I will do the best I can

CHORUS
When I grow up I will sail the 7 seas,
Bring you back a present from the coast of Ivory

Learn a new language, make a new friend
It?s gonna be so much fun I?ll never want my life to end

I suppose there?ll be a time when I?m ready to move on
Drop this old body, finish up my song

When it?s my time to go I don?t want no one to cry
I"ll Leave you all my blessings, as I kiss the world good-by

CHORUS
