Song Description
There are difficult times and rocky roads in building a marriage and raising a family. There's a daily grind to commit to. A steadfastness that looks into our tomorrows and acknowledges the seeds we plant today. A rhyme is caught up in routine and creates a melody, and a song to sing. These are the growing years. They can be trying times in the midst of them, but a sweetness is embedded throughout. A sweetness that lasts and stands the tests of time.

Lyrics
Oh I recall the days, we were barely getting by
There were bills to pay, kids to raise, and committing to the grind
Though caught in the in-between, there's a sweet rhyme of routine
There's a melody, and a song to sing, that stands the test of time
CHORUS
Oh those growing years
And the rocky road that brought us here
The storms we weathered the times we shared
In the sweet growing years
Oh the years go passing by, just like they say they do
Schedules to keep, not enough sleep, and working the 9 to 5
And now were living in the days that we planted yesterday
There's still bills to pay, but the kids are raised and they're over all the time
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I found that life is what you make it
That the better path is the one less taken
That faith and prayer can move a mountain
And abiding love is everlasting
CHORUS 2
Oh those growing years
And the rocky roads that brought us here
And the storms that we weathered and the times we all shared
In the sweet growing years
In the sweet growing years
OUTRO
So, just the other day the grandkids came on by to play
Mom and dad in tow, their own roads to hoe, and family dreams to make
