Intro 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 try to prove The less I have to show And I’m stuck inside my head Most of the time If I pray a little harder If I follow all the rules I wonder could I ever be enough I try and I 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 Please believe The thoughts I have for you will never change or fade away When you felt like giving up I was there all along I’m not scared of imperfections Or the questions in your head Just know that you have always been enough You tried and you tried And I saw your 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
