V1:
Black cars, line 'em up
While the pastor says, "we're gathered here today"
Please, give me grace
I couldn't keep up the hate
That was livin' in my own brain
Had to find my own way
To love the sound of my name
Chorus:
People grow, grow, grow
And now I know, know, know
I ain't meant to be
The person I used to be
So let him go, go, go
Let no tears flow, flow, flow
Put your hands together
Say a prayer
RIP to who I used to be, used to be
Say goodbye to who I used to be, used to be
Oh-oh-oh
V2:
Read it on my stone
A complicated soul
Beloved by next to none
Tried to be a good son
On occasion showed up for a friend
Bad ways ultimately met a bitter end
Chorus:
People grow, grow, grow
And now I know, know, know
I ain't meant to be
The person I used to be
So let him go, go, go
Let no tears flow, flow, flow
Put your hands together
Say a prayer
RIP to who I used to be, used to be
Say goodbye to who I used to be, used to be
Oh-oh-oh
Bridge:
This is the revival
Of a soul once lost
Bathed in the water of a saving grace
Found the light at a different pace
'Cuz people grow, grow, grow
Oh-oh-oh
Chorus:
People grow, grow, grow
And now I know, know, know
I ain't meant to be
The person I used to be
So let him go, go, go
Let no tears flow, flow, flow
Put your hands together
Say a prayer
RIP to who I used to be, used to be
Say goodbye to who I used to be, used to be
Oh-oh-oh
