Aging on,
Been sixteen too long
Right here, right now
I'll grow up somehow.

I will make it through today.
Can drink beer, in four more.
Seems this is my next birthday.
I will soon be grown.
Being sixteen will be no more.
Being seventeen I will become.

Now I see the times they change
Getting older, it seems so strange
I am hoping I can find
A father who won't whoop my behind.
Preperations they make,
Haven't seen my birthday cake.
I have lived the best I can,
Does this make me not a man?

Shut lights off,
For my party.
Heart stops
I feel alone.
Then you scream out loud.

I will make it through today.
Can drink beer, in four more.
Seems this is my next birthday.
I will soon be grown.
Being sixteen will be no more.
Being seventeen I will become.

Now I see the times they change
Getting older, it seems so strange
I am hoping I can find
A father who won't whoop my behind.
Preperations they make,
Haven't seen my birthday cake.
I have lived the best I can,
Does this make me not a man?

Am I going to eat my cake?
How old have I become?
Is there nothing more to come?
(Surprise parties aren't my faves)
I feel a lack in space?
Am I going to eat this cake?
Am I going to win this race?
(Am I going to leave this place?)
I guess God has made my age.
What is it that I've become?
Is there something more to come?
(More to come)

Now I see the times they change
Getting older, it seems so strange
I am hoping I can find
A father who won't whoop my behind.
Preperations they make,
Haven't seen my birthday cake.
I have lived the best I can,
Does this make me not a man?
