In 'Growing Pains (feat. Mitch Wong),' ELEVATION RHYTHM delves into the complexities of faith and the inevitable struggles that come with it. The song opens with a poignant question about the fear of uncontrollable aspects of life, setting the stage for a narrative that explores the refining nature of life's challenges. The lyrics suggest that these trials are not just random occurrences but are integral to personal and spiritual growth, much like how fire refines metal.
The recurring theme of perseverance is evident as the singer acknowledges the effort to keep moving forward despite frequent setbacks. The lyrics, 'I try and I try and I try / To keep pressing on with hopes high / But sometimes I fall,' capture the essence of human vulnerability and the constant battle to maintain faith. However, the reassurance that 'God, through it all / I know You'll be by my side' provides a comforting reminder of divine presence and support, even in the darkest times.

This powerful imagery underscores the belief that faith is not passive but an active, ongoing battle that requires courage and perseverance. 'Growing Pains' is a heartfelt anthem that speaks to anyone navigating the turbulent waters of life, reminding them that their struggles are not in vain and that brighter days are ahead.
