Dear Younger Me

Dear younger me

Where do I start?

If I could tell you everything that I have learned so far

Then you could be

One step ahead

Of all the painful memories still running through my head

I wonder how much different things would be

Dear younger me

Dear younger me

I cannot decide

Do I give some speech about how to get the most out of your life

Or do I go deep

And try to change

The choices that you'll make, 'cause they're choices that made me

And even though I love this crazy life

Sometimes I wish it was a smoother ride

Dear younger me, dear younger me

Oh, if I knew then what I know now

Condemnation would've had no power

My joy, my pain would've never been my worth

If I knew then what I know now

Would've been hard to figure out

What I would've changed if I had heard

Dear younger me

It's not your fault

You were never meant to carry this beyond the cross

Dear younger me

You are holy

You are righteous

You are one of the redeemed

Set apart a brand new heart

Oh, you are free indeed

And every mountain, every valley

Through each heartache, you will see

Every moment brings you closer

To who you were meant to be

Dear younger me, dear younger me

You are holy

You are righteous

You are one of the redeemed

Set apart a brand new heart

Oh, you are free indeed

You are holy

You are righteous

You are one of the redeemed

Set apart a brand new heart

Oh, you are free indeed

You are holy

You are righteous

You are one of the redeemed

Set apart a brand new heart

Oh, you are free indeed
