Growing Young Rich Mullins

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

'Cause they have crept into my heart
They have left it cold and dark
And bleeding
Bleeding and falling apart

And everybody used to tell me
Big boys don't cry
Well, 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, nah, nah
Growing young, nah, nah, nah, nah
