[Chorus 1]
When I'm wiser and grown taller
I will see your ways
And when I've come to the places I'm going
I will know your ways

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh ooh, ooh, ooh; ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse]
I can feel the hurt now; I can turn this pain to blame
I'm trying to see it clear but I don't know why it's here at all
You can keep yourself down as long as you want now, but do ya?
You can push it on another but, damn, that man's your brother now

[Chorus 2]
When I'm wiser and grown taller
I will see your ways

[Bridge]
And all my heart I'll follow, try until we all glow
We'll shine like diamonds in the rough
And all my heart I'll follow; take me back, I'll show you
We'll shine like diamonds in the rough
Oh, the journey's been long; I've learned and I've lost on the way
Go and be who you are; shine like the sun on the stars

[Chorus 1]
When I'm wiser and grown taller
I will see your ways
And when I've come to the places I'm going
I will know your ways

[Chorus 3]
And when I'm wiser and grown taller
I will see your ways
When I've come to the places I'm going
I will know your ways
