Shane Filan - When I Grow Up Lyrics






When I grow up
I will be tall enough to reach the branches
That I need to reach to climb the trees
You get too climb when you're grown up

And when I grow up
I will be smart enough to answer all the questions that you need to know the answers to
Before you're grown up

And when I grow up
I will eat sweets everyday
On the way to work, and I
Will go to bed late every night

And I will wake up
When the sun comes up, and I
Will watch cartoons until my eyes go square
And I won't care 'cause I'll be all grown up
When I grow up

When I grow up
When I grow up
(When I grow up)
I will be strong enough to carry all
The heavy things you have to haul around
With you when you're a grown up

And when I grow up
When I grow up
(When I grow up)
I will be brave enough to fight the creatures that you have to fight beneath the bed
Each night to be a grown up

And when I grow up
(When I grow up)
I will have treats everyday
And I'll play with things that mom pretends that mom's don't think are fun

And I will wake up
(And I will wake up)
When the sun comes up, and I
Will spend all day just lying in the sun
And I won't burn 'cause I'll be all grown up
When I grow up

[Shane:]
When I grow up
I will be brave enough to fight the creatures that you have to fight beneath the bed
Each night to be a grown up
When I grow up

[Grace:]
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it
If you always take your time to chin and wait
Nothing will change
(When I grow up)

Just because I find myself in this story
It doesn't mean that everything is written for me
If I think the ending is fixed already
I might as well be saying
"I think that it's OK"
And that's not right

When I grow up
When I grow up
(When I grow up)
I will be strong enough to carry all the heavy things you have to haul around
With you when you're a grown up

And when I grow up
When I grow up
(When I grow up)
I will be brave enough to fight the creatures
That you have to fight beneath the bed
Each night to be a grown up

And when I grow up
I will have treats everyday
And I'll play with things that mom pretends that moms don't think are fun

And I will wake up
When the sun comes up, and I
Will spend all day just lying in the sun
And I won't burn 'cause I'll be all grown up
When I grow up

    Grace Lee was on the tv show Suprise Suprise, and her all time dream was to preform with the cast of Matilda: The Musical. And she ended up preforming with them on the Suprise Suprise stage! And after that, she has become viral and she starred in this one to by the looks of it! Haha!

    C.... B....

    she has also recently joined Spirit Young Performers Company

    C.... B....

    I was in Shrek the musical with her

  31. E.... T....

    Grace is such an amazing singer. It's so unfortunate that she wouldn't be able to be Matilda on west end: I would have loved to see her sing

  32. H.... M....

    Great song , great performance , touching video and good cause.

  33. m.... b....

  45. T.... M....

    How have I never seen this before!?

  46. U.... ....

    Why can't these people be the real cast they are so good !!

  47. J.... O....

    Brillannt song but your man Shane is lip syncing. If you look more closely you will see

    J.... O....

    I'm glad you liked the song, but I can assure you, as the producer, that Shane sang live and any issues that you see with synchronisation between the video and audio are due to a number of factors all inherent in streaming video. The song was recorded live, totally live, from the sixteen piece orchestra, the children's ensemble, the adult choir, the two thousand voices in the audience to Grace Lee and Shane Filan. It was one take during a three hour programme of live music celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Association of Irish Musical Societies.
