I am gonna be
A little boy for you and me, for now
Because when I am fully grown
There'll be less innocence to see
So while I'm your baby son
I'll take your love and grow from all it gives
Why does time push the clock
And why does love pull the strings so hard
Why do babies grow so fast
With every day that's speeding past, my dear
It's meant to be
It's meant to be
But even though it's meant to be
Don't make it right nor easier to do
Life it lives and life it dies
But before it does I hope you realize
That family ties are more than blood
It's love and grace that keeps the soul alive
Why does time push the clock
And why does love pull the strings so hard
Why do babies grow so fast
With every day that's speeding past, my dear
It's meant to be
It's meant to be
