Verso 1

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

Verso 2

And I feel like giving up
Most of the time
Dear God
I’ve been chasing their approval
And it’s killin' me

Verso 3

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

Pré refrão 1

But If I pray a little harder
If I follow all the rules
I wonder could I ever be enough

Refrão

'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

Repete

Oh I’m gonna try again

Verso 4

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

Verso 5

And when you felt like giving up
I never did

Pré refrão 2

'Cause I’m not scared of imperfections
Or the questions in your head
Just know that you
Have always been enough

Refrão

'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

Repete

Oh child would you try again

Repete

My child you can love again
