    A song about expansion.
    Credits: Music- Keith Dudinski; Lyrics- Tom Jones

    Story Behind the Song
    Early in 1994, Keith wrote a song called "When I Come Home." Tom thought the lyrics were kind of lame. One night at practice they recorded an instrumental version. Tom listened to it again a few weeks later and just had to write better lyrics for this music. The new lyric, "Grow," took him about an hour to write and he didn't realize what he had done until about a month later.
    The song was recorded for an astronomical price at a studio (which will remain nameless) in Rochester in July 1995.

    Lyrics
    ©1994 Fiddle While It Burns
    It's a big, cruel world and it gets colder
    as life goes on and I grow bolder
    than the mixed-up kid I used to be
    but sometimes it comes back to me
    without direction we are born
    no time to waste just time to warn
    the other souls that come behind
    in the same steps searching for signs

    It's a big, cruel world and it gets colder
    shirt off my back chip off my shoulder
    it amazes me that I should find
    the answers I had have slipped my mind
    with fortitude and perseverance
    I wipe my mouth and keep up appearance
    the rules that my short life has taught me
    the confusion they have brought me

    When I grow up I'll be alright
    and I will make my living then
    and I will fight the goodly fight
    and I will get change happening
    when I grow up I'll be alright
    and I will make my mark among the rest
    believe me
    just wait and see

    It's a big, cruel world and it gets colder
    as I crest the hill down rolls my boulder
    the daily routine starts to grind
    driving me mad and makeing me blind
    to all the things I saved for peace
    enlightenment, love and belief
    the truths I found while searching my soul
    the feeling that I have control
