about

Piece built around a simple chord pattern that creates variation by changing the length of time the chords are held.

lyrics

Growin’ On
(for Bill Sorenson)
by John Beccia


In time we come, in time we go
And realize what we never know
What can it mean? Why does it seem
That each new day’s just another dreem

CHORUS-Oh-oh-oh-oh, we just keep goin’
Oh-oh-oh-oh, we just keep growin’ on
Oh-oh-oh-oh, we just keep goin’
Oh-oh-oh-oh, we just go on

Like morning’s mist will disappear
Does life evaporate into air?
Until the clouds can hold no more
And rain returns to the ocean floor

REPEAT CHORUS

When we die to decompose
Are we soil for a tree that grows?
Or for the seeds caught in the wind
Till all are replanted once again

REPEAT CHORUS
