I was laughing Playing in the streets, I was unknowing I didn't know my fate Playing The game of love but never really showing I thought that love would wait I was a young man and I was sure to go astray You walked right into my life and told me, 'love would find a way' Keep on growing, keep on going, keep on flowing I was standing Looking at the face of one who loved me Feeling so ashamed Hoping Praying, Lord, that she could understand me But I didn't know her name She took my hand in hers and then told me I was wrong She said, 'You're gonna be alright, boy, whoa, just as long.' Keep on growing, keep on going, keep on flowing Yeah, yeah, yeah Baby Baby Someday, baby, who knows where or when, girl Just you wait and see We'll be walking Together hand in hand alone as lovers Will it still be me? Times gonna change us, Lord, and I know it's true Our love's gonna keep on glowing And growing is all we're gonna do Keep on growing, keep on glowing, keep on flowing Yeah, yeah, yeah
