When I Grow Up Lyrics

I'm staring at the ceiling, thoughts spinning in my mind

What does it mean to make it?, success so hard to find

Chasing after dreams, but they're slipping through my hands

Is it money, is it fame, or just making future plans

I wanna lift my family, give them all I can

A house with open doors and a steady helping hand

But every time I think about what I wanna do

These doubts creep in and blur the path I thought I knew

When I grow up, will I find my way

Will I feel the peace, or just lost in the fate

When I grow up, can I bear the load

Or will I keep questioning this winding road

When I grow up

When I grow up

I watch the world around me, everyone's chasing light

But what if all it glitters isn't worth the fight

Wanna buy groceries without counting the change

A life that feels secure but nothing seems the same

Am I measuring success by the size of my dreams

Or is it something deeper tearing at the seams

I wanna give my loved ones the best I can afford

But these voices in my head leave me feeling ignored

When I grow up, will I find my way

Will I feel the peace, or just lost in the fate

When I grow up, can I bear the load

Or will I keep questioning this winding road

When I grow up

Will I feel the peace, or just lost in the fate

When I grow up, can I bear the load

Or will I keep questioning this winding road

When I grow up

What if success isn't just a shiny prize

What if it's the moments, the love in our eyes

I'm caught in the middle trying to figure it out

But every answer leads me back to doubt

When I grow up, will I find my way

Will I feel the peace, or just lost in the fame

When I grow up, can I bear the load

Or will I keep questioning this story untold

When I grow up

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

So here I am, standing at the start

Searching for the meaning, trying to follow my heart

When I grow up, will the answers unfold

Or will I keep chasing the story untold

When I grow up

What if I find my way

Will I feel the peace, or just lost in the fame

When I grow up, can I bear the load

Or will I keep questioning this winding road

When I grow up
