lyrics

I am grown up now
It didn't take so long
To leave the idyll of childhood
And join the adult throng
I am grown up now
Perhaps beyond my years
But not beyond the yearning
For peace from all my fears

Chorus:
Sometimes I feel
I am breathing in the womb
Sometimes I feel
Life is happening too soon
Sometimes I feel
I can never grow enough the truth to see
Oh there's a child woman inside of me

I am grown up now
I'm not sure what that means
Try to claim my independence
And consummate my dreams
I am grown up now
Guess I should stand alone
But while the world rushes by
I still seek for home

Chorus repeat

I am grown up now
Enough to hold you in my arms
Still I feel like a child
As I cling to the calm
I am grown up now
Got all my love to give
Guess when I love myself
Then I'll really start to live

Chorus repeat
