Letter to the Past

Pick up the pen, set it down again pick up the pen
tell me what it is I'm to say
Pick up the pen, put it down again pick up the pen
How do I save you from the impending pain

Wish I could be in your shoes, fix a mistake or two

Scratch these words down hope for the best
Close the seal hold it close to my chest
Pray I don't say something I'll regret
To whom it may concern
This buried letter to the past

Hey there boy, don't be afraid, hey there boy
I know it hurts but stand your ground
Hey there boy, one step forward, hang in there boy
I promise you you'll grow and thrive

Grit your teeth survive, take a chance and dive

Take those hands, learn to play that sad song
Raise your head though you feel you don't belong
Fake a smile till it starts to feel real,
Sincerely yours
Unearth this letter to the past

Look up ahead, see the footsteps look on ahead
I've walked this way long before
Look up ahead, you'll reach tomorrow I'm up ahead
Turn around and see the path you've walked

Every mistake is a lesson, a blessing in disguise

Take the left cause theres no way to know whats right
Break the mold you'll always be one of a kind
Im so proud of how far you have walked

Race you to the finish line
This is my letter to the past
