I grew up under difficult circumstances

I’ve taken a lot of chances

I used prayer to cleanse my soul

Cause prayer made me whole

I’ve learned many lessons

I’ve made many confessions

Faith has been the key

It’s brought out the best in me

I kept growing without knowing

These things change a girl to a woman

I handled adversity face to face

I moved forward with God’s guidance and grace

I took the pain

Knowing I had a lot to gain

I finally saw my purpose

Come to the surface

I’m standing on solid ground

Thanks to the joy I’ve found

I kept growing without knowing

These things change a girl to a woman

I learned to embrace what God created

I love what I once hated

I take nothing for granted

The seeds have been planted

I’ll go far

By reaching for  a star

On God’s shoulders I stand

Cause life is grand

I kept growing without knowing

These things change a girl to a woman
