Everywhere I go I see people that I know from my school They're working on a way to hurry up the day they will be Far away from home, living on their own Throwing out the tired and the true Racing through an age, they're quick to turn the page Cause growing up is hard to do at: (Chorus) Sixteen, going on twenty-five Sixteen, going on twenty-five Jodi was the one that every mother's son was after She really knew her stuff, but played a little rough for the boys
So Jodi met a man, promised him her hand But never really gave him her heart Barely sixteen, she knows what it means Cause growing up is oh so hard to do at: (Chorus) Everytime I pray I see people that I know in high school I'm praying for the day that you will find the way to believe Jesus is the love you've been dreaming of Making you completely new I really gotta say that Jesus can replace The innocence life took from you at: (Chorus)
