When I Grow Up by The Human Experience Lyrics

When I grow up I want to be happy
When I grow up I want to be free
If I ever I grow up all I want to be is the real me

But what about the times when I get in my own way
But what about the times when I just turn away
What about the people who actually don't have a say

Nothing's going to change if I keep on the same way

(Chorus)
Now is the time when I get to decide
Open my eyes and look inside
To divine my intentions, and define my dimensions
As divine intervention reminds me
To see with my heart as well as eyes
Actualize

Cuz the more I grow
The less I think I know
And the more I know
How far I have to go
Cuz to truly grow up
Is so much harder than it seems
To keep your innocence
Be of service
Live your dreams

Now is the time when we get to decide
Open our eyes and use our minds, look inside
To divine my intentions, and define my dimensions
As divine intervention reminds
To see with our hearts as well as eyes
Harmonize, yeah

It can be so hard to break free of illusions
Take within my heart: I can feel the solutions
It's never gonna end, I will always be growing
No need to believe now that I've tasted knowing

Now is the time when I get to decide
To open my eyes and
Use my mind, look inside
To define my intentions, and design my dimensions
As divine intervention reminds me
To see with my heart as well as eyes

As I grow up I learn to be truthful
As I grow up I learn to be vulnerable
As we all grow up now, finally
It can be simple
As we show up we earn the key
To the temple
