| Dear God
|
| I’ve been trying awful hard to make You proud of me
|
| But it seems
|
| The harder that I try the harder it becomes
|
| And I feel like giving up
|
| Most of the time
|
| Dear God
|
| I’ve been chasing their approval and it’s killin' me
|
| And I know
|
| The more I to try to prove
|
| The less I have to show
|
| And I’m stuck inside my head
|
| Most of the time
|
| But If I pray a little harder
|
| If I follow all the rules
|
| I wonder could I ever be enough
|
| 'Cause I try and try
|
| Just to fall back down again
|
| And I ask myself why
|
| Do I try to chase the wind?
|
| I just lean into the mystery
|
| Maybe hope is found in a melody
|
| So I wanna try again
|
| Yeah, I’m gonna try again
|
| Dear child
|
| I hope you know how much I love you and I’m proud of you
|
| And please believe
|
| The thoughts I have for you will never change or fade away
|
| And when you felt like giving up
|
| I was there all along
|
| 'Cause I’m not scared of imperfections
|
| Or the questions in your head
|
| Just know that you have always been enough
|
| 'Cause you tried and you tried
|
| And I saw you wrestle with
|
| Every how, every why
|
| I was right there listening
|
| So just fall into the mystery
|
| I’ll meet you in the melody
|
| So please try just to try again
|
| So child would you try again
|
| My child you can love again |
