Ralph Tresvant - Boys to Men (remixed version) lyrics

[Intro: Johnny Gill + (New Edition)] These are the things that change boys to men... Yeah, yeah Ooh (Ahh) [Verse 1: Johnny] Growing up can be a pain You're not a man until you come of age We've given up our teenage years In the effort to pursue our career Who a**umes responsibility Of having to support our families Who's protecting us from harm Is there anyone around, that we can trust [Pre-Chorus: Johnny + New Edition] So we search for answers to our questions Looking for the answers No answers but we are taught a lesson every time Every time Through mistakes we've learned to gather wisdom Life's responsibilities falls in our hands [Chorus: Johnny + New Edition] Keep on learning, keep on growing Wisdom helps us understand We're maturing, without knowing These are the things that change boys to men [Verse 2: Johnny] Oh, the goals we 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 [Pre-Chorus: Johnny + New Edition] So we search for answers to our questions Looking for the answers No answers but we are taught a lesson every time Every time Through mistakes we've learned to gather wisdom And wisdom helps us see our responsibilities [Chorus: Johnny + New Edition] 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 Keep on learning, keep on growing Every day, every day I'm learning, I'm learning a little more Yeah, yeah We're maturing, without knowing These are the things, these are the things that turn a boy into a man So we search for answers to our questions No answers but we are taught a lesson every time Through mistakes we've learned to gather wisdom Oh, in our efforts, in our efforts to pursue our career Oh, no, no Keep on learning, keep on growing I know it gets hard sometimes, yeah Growing up can be a pain We're maturing, without knowing You're not a man, not a man All you have to do, all you have to do is hold on Hold on (Repeat 4X) So we search for answers to our questions No answers but we are taught a lesson every time Keep on growing, yeah Through mistakes we've learned to gather wisdom Who's gonna protect us from our heart? Yeah You see life's responsibility falls in our hand, falls in our hand Keep on learning, keep on growing I know it gets hard sometimes, yeah Growing up can be a pain We're maturing, without knowing See, growing up can be a pain, can be a pain...
