when i was just a child i used to run
and hide so frightened
of those lonely shadows
my momma walked with me
and papa talked with me
now listen son it doesn`t matter
you`ve got to live your life
the way you sow your seeds
and if you do it wrong
you`ve got to face it on your knees
`cause you`re a big boy now
you`re a big boy now you`re a big boy
now so let the big boy shout
i`m a big boy now i`m a big boy
now i`m a big boy now
so let the big boy shout
well time has passed me by
and i`m no longer crying
i chase away those lonely shadows
my momma walked with me and
papa talked with me now
listen son it doesn`t matter
well now i can`t break free no one
can rescue me surrounded
by those lonely shadows
my momma walked with me and
papa talked with me
`cause what i do now doesn`t matter
i`ve had to live my life the way
i sowed my seeds
and now i`ve done it wrong
i`ve got to face it on my knees
`cause i`m a big boy now i`m a big boy
now i`m a big boy
now so let the big boy shout
i`m a big boy now i`m a big boy
now i`m a big boy
now so let the big boy shout
and hide so frightened
of those lonely shadows
my momma walked with me
and papa talked with me
now listen son it doesn`t matter
you`ve got to live your life
the way you sow your seeds
and if you do it wrong
you`ve got to face it on your knees
`cause you`re a big boy now
you`re a big boy now you`re a big boy
now so let the big boy shout
i`m a big boy now i`m a big boy
now i`m a big boy now
so let the big boy shout
well time has passed me by
and i`m no longer crying
i chase away those lonely shadows
my momma walked with me and
papa talked with me now
listen son it doesn`t matter
well now i can`t break free no one
can rescue me surrounded
by those lonely shadows
my momma walked with me and
papa talked with me
`cause what i do now doesn`t matter
i`ve had to live my life the way
i sowed my seeds
and now i`ve done it wrong
i`ve got to face it on my knees
`cause i`m a big boy now i`m a big boy
now i`m a big boy
now so let the big boy shout
i`m a big boy now i`m a big boy
now i`m a big boy
now so let the big boy shout
