Dear God (Acoustic)

Lyrics

• Verse 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
  And I feel like giving up
  Most of the time
  

• Verse 2

  Dear God
  I’ve been chasing their approval
  And it’s killing me
  And I know the more I try to prove
  Oh the less I have to show
  And I’m stuck inside my head
  Most of the time
  

• Pre Chorus 1

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

• Chorus 1

  ‘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
  

• Verse 3

  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
  And when you felt like giving up
  I never did
  

• Pre Chorus 2

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

• Chorus 2

  ‘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
