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 killing 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 should lean into the mystery
Maybe hope is found in a melody
So I wanna try again
Oh, I’m gonna try again
Dear child
I hope you know how much I love you and I’m proud of you
Please believe
The thoughts I have for you will never change or fade away
When you felt like giving up
I never did
I’m not scared of imperfections
Or the questions in your head
Just know that you have always been enough
'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
And 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
