A small boy once asked, when will I grow up?
When will I see what grown-ups do see?
In his fight to come of age, he would act an older age
To be recognized as one and not a mess
And Mama used to say, take your time young man
And Mama used to say, don't you rush to get old
And Mama used to say, take it in your stride
And Mama used to say, live your life
As the years went rushing by, he would cut down on his age
He would tell his girl how it used to be
Now his mommy passed away, but these lines she would say
And at the time he couldn't understand
And Mama used to say, take your time young man












And Mama used to say, don't you rush to get old
And Mama used to say, take it in your stride
And Mama used to say, live your life
You're young, so enjoy, don't hold on back
Do all you want to do
Now is the time for you to strive
For you to get better
At what you are doing
Oh
Yeah now

A small boy once asked when will I grow up
When will I see heaven?

Why grown-ups do see
In his fight to come of age
He would act an older age
To be recognized as one and not a mess
And Mama used to say
Take your time, young man
And Mama used to say
Don't you rush to get old
And Mama used to say
Take it in your stride
And Mama used to say
Live your life
And Mama used to say
Take your time, young man
And Mama used to say
Don't you rush to get old
And Mama used to say
Take it in your stride
And Mama used to say
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
