What I See Now

If I could go back to the seventh grade

I'd tell myself, you'll be ok

You're the last one picked and the first one out

But wouldn't let it get you down

Middle school is a lonely road

You're faking sick to stay at home

But give it time and you will find

Friends you'll have for your whole life

Oh, you're gonna make it through

I promise that you'll do somehow.

I wish you could see what I see now

If I could go back to 23

To the nights I cried myself to sleep

Lying in my bed alone

With nobody to have and hold

I'd say that I know the feeling well

When the girl you love loves someone else

But give it time and you will find

A lover who won't leave your side

Oh you're gonna make it through

I promise that you'll do somehow

I wish you could see what I see now

I see a perfect plan, I see God's guiding hand

I see a better man, you'll be a better man

Sometimes it takes a while, sometimes it takes the trials

To open up your eyes

So here I am at 29

But I feel just like that boy sometimes

Praying, please God give me faith

To make it through just one more day

But every time I have those fears

I think of me in twenty years

Telling me, you'll be just fine

Just keep on walking towards the light

Just keep on walking towards the light

Yeah, you'll be just fine

Just give it time, give it time

Oh, oh, just keep on walking towards the light
