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 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 But if I pray a little harder, if I follow all the rules I wonder could I ever be enough Cos 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 am 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 Cos I'm not scared of imperfections or the questions in your head Know that you have always been enough Cos you try, and try And I saw you wrestle with Every how and every why I was right there listening So just fall into the mystery I'll meet you in the melody Try, just to try again My child would you try again? My child you can love again.
