[English]
I'm scared of growing upI'm scared of growing old
I'm scared of falling short
I'm scared of the unknown
Oh, I'm burning on the edge
But I know right where I stand
I know the road ahead will make me who I am
I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am
I was lost, out of hope, I was caving in
Overcome by the waves, I was crashing in
Took a chance on the other side of fear, I found
I can make it out
Even if I'm scared of growing up
I'm scared of growing old
I'm scared of falling short
I'm scared of the unknown
Oh, I'm burning on the edge
But I know right where I stand
I know the road ahead will make me who I am
I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am
There was sticks, there were stones, there was barricades
I was trapped in my mind, threw the key away
They say this and that behind my back, not to my face
They wanna see me break
Even if I'm scared of growing up
I'm scared of growing old
I'm scared of falling short
I'm scared of the unknown
Oh, I'm burning on the edge
But I know right where I stand
I know the road ahead will make me who I am
I am, I am, I am (whoo!)
I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am (I am)
Will it ever pass? This feeling
Some nights, I never know, I never know
But if I can fight this feeling
I'll see silver and gold, silver and gold
Will it ever pass? This feeling
Some nights, I never know, I never know
But if I can fight this feeling
I'll see silver and gold, silver and gold
Even if I'm scared of growing up
I'm scared of growing old
I'm scared of falling short
I'm scared of the unknown
Oh, I'm burning on the edge
But I know right where I stand
I know the road ahead will make me who I am
I am, I am, I am (I am)
I am, I am, I am (I am)
I am, I am, I am (I am)
I am, I am, I am (I am)
I am, I am, I am (c'mon)
I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am
