New Edition - Boys To Men Lyrics

Growing up can be pain
You're not a man until you've come of age
We've given up our teenage years
In the effort to pursue our careers

Who assumes responsibility
Of havin' to support our families
Who's protecting them from harm
Is there anyone around that we can trust

So we search for answers to our questions
Lookin' for the answers
No answers, but we are taught a lesson every time
Through mistakes we've learned to gather wisdom
Life's responsibilities falls in our hands

Keep on learning, keep on growing
Wisdom helps us understand
We're maturing without knowing
These are the things that change boys to men

Oh, the goals we've set may exceed reality
‘Cause failure always is a possibility
Who can tell us that we're wrong
It's up to us to figure out what life is all about

So we search for answers to our questions
Lookin' for the answers
No answers, but we are taught a lesson every time
With mistakes we learn to gather wisdom (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
And wisdom helps us see our responsibility

Keep on learning, keep on growing (Oh, yeah)
Wisdom helps us understand
We're maturing without knowing (Yeah)
These are the things that change boys to men, oh

Keep on learning, keep on growing (I know it gets hard some times, yeah)
Wisdom helps us understand
(Growing up can be a pain, you know what I mean, you know what I mean)
We're maturing without knowing
(Well, all you have to do is hold on, hold on hold on, hold on)
These are the things that change boys to men (No, no, no, no, no)

Keep on learning, keep on growing (Keep on growing)
Wisdom helps us understand
We're maturing without knowing

Keep on learning, keep on growing
We have been taught a lesson every time
We're maturing without knowing
Ah...
