Dear God (feat. Anna Asbury) [Acoustic]
Dear God
I've been trying awful hard to make you proud of me
But it seems
The harder that I try
Oh, 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
Oh, 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?
'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 the melody
So I wanna try again
Oh, I'm gonna try again
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
When you felt like giving up
I never did
'Cause I'm not scared of imperfections
Or the questions in your head
Know that you have always been enough
'Cause you tried and tried
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
I've been trying awful hard to make you proud of me
But it seems
The harder that I try
Oh, 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
Oh, 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?
'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 the melody
So I wanna try again
Oh, I'm gonna try again
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
When you felt like giving up
I never did
'Cause I'm not scared of imperfections
Or the questions in your head
Know that you have always been enough
'Cause you tried and tried
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
