[Intro]
There comes a time in
Everyone's life when
They can't be afraid
Be afraid to love?
Be afraid of change?
And be afraid to grow and go?
That's where I am
[Verse 1]
Brace yourself, it's uncomfortable
This ride you're on ain't for colored folk
Not come and go; don't be shy though
I got you in My hands
[Chorus]
But it's time to grow up (Up)
Change up your mindset (Mindset)
Realize that I'm takin' you in another direction
And even though you're afraid
Don't let it get in the way
Just let your faith speak
That's when you breathe
And release
[Verse 2]
And when you get there, you truly see
What all of this, what it truly means
That's why your trust, it has to be in Me
Before anything or even before your needs
[Chorus]
But it's time to grow up (Up)
Change up your mindset (Mindset)
Realize that I'm takin' you in another direction
And even though you're afraid
Don't let it get in the way
Just let your faith speak
That's when you breathe
And release
[Hook]
Faith, speak, breathe, release
Release (Release)
Yeah
Faith, speak, breathe, release
Release
(Yeah)
Yeah
[Bridge - Alex Faith]
Father of goods, been my name a time or two
Doing things that I would do, knowing that I'm hurting You
You would tell me I should act my age
And leave behind my foolishness, avoiding childish ways
But I want to do my thing, going hard, and I'm running
We don't got a lot coming where we come from
It hurts to hear Your voice; I'm afraid that You know it
Where to go from here? I'm trusting that You're coming
[Chorus]
But it's time to grow up (Up)
Change up your mindset (Mindset)
Realize that I'm takin' you in another direction
And even though you're afraid
Don't let it get in the way
Just let your faith speak
That's when you breathe
And release
[Hook]
Faith, speak, breathe, release
Release (Release)
Yeah
Faith, speak, breathe, release
Release
(Yeah)
Yeah
[Ending - Alex Faith and Hilary Pradia]
Uh, along for the ride, You know I trust You
Down until I die, sometimes I don't have the strength to
Muster, my eyes full of tears, my heart be filled with pride
Don't want to disappoint You; this is how I feel inside
Am I wrong? Just being honest, that should count for something
I lack the faith at times, You say it only takes a mustard seed
But do I have that? Now I'm having flashbacks
Am I who I think I am? I thought that I was past that
But you gotta grow your faith up
Yeah
You gotta grow your faith up
Ah yea, yea
