Don't let them paint you gray They're gonna see you're somebody, somewhere, someday Don't ever let them take your playful heart away Oh you're somebody nobody could replicate Yeah I already know there's only one of you That the world is gonna see, another side of you Though the tide's been rising, since I'm proud of you Oh I know that we're gonna see laughing like you used to do Yeah from now, now, now From now, I'm gonna find a new song It goes "I knew you as a cub and now you've grown into a lion" When I go back to the start You're lost in better rhythm, in the beat of your heart You were like a queen of diamonds and your tower of cards So easily blown over when the going got hard But the best thing about this love You don't old smoke beyond this even newer fire We sang "I knew you as a cub and now you've grown into a lion" Oh from now, now, now From now, I'm gonna find a new song It goes "I knew you as a cub and now you've grown into a lion" Oh they can laugh if they like Because this time you know you're right You can feel the wisdom growing inside Oh they can laugh if they like Because this time you know you're right You can feel the wisdom growing inside Oh they can laugh if they like Because this time you know you're right You can feel the wisdom growing inside Oh they can laugh if they like Because this time you know you're right You can feel the wisdom growing inside
