Simple Views Not Working as they should!

This problem may have been addressed elsewhere in the forums, but I am not really sure what to search for so please bare with me if this has been answered...

I have a View that I have created, and I am appending a Label as a child element to this view then appending that to the window... Problem is, if I do NOT set a height for my view, then nothing shows at all. This is all well and good for labels that have a set amount of characters but mine change ALL the time because they are dynamically pulled from a database. I want to know how to make a view grow with my text... Is this possible ?

Here is my code, as you can see it's SUPER simple:

// Create Whitespace View for TABS
    var tab_ws = Ti.UI.createView({
        backgroundColor : '#FFF',
        top : 316
    });
 
        var label = Ti.UI.createLabel({
            top : 10,
            left : 10,
            right : 10,
