Verse 1
Dear God,
I’ve been trying awful hard to
make You proud of me
But it seems
The harder that I try, all the
harder it becomes
And I feel like giving up
Most of the time
Verse 2
Dear God,
I’ve been chasing their approval
and it’s killing me
And I know
The more I try to prove
All the less I have to show
And I’m stuck inside my head
Most of the time
Pre-chorus
But, If I pray a little harder
If I follow all the rules
I wonder could I ever be enough
Chorus
Cause I try and I try
Just to fall back down again
And I ask myself why
Do I try to chase the wind
I should lean into the mystery
Maybe hope is found in a melody
So I wanna try again
Oh, I’m gonna try again
Verse 3
And 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 never did
Pre-chorus
'Cause I’m not scared of
imperfections
Or the questions in your head
Just know that you have always
been enough
Chorus
'Cause you tried and 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 here in the melody
try just to try again
Oh child would you try again?
My child you can love again
