If I could write a letter
To the younger me I'd say
It feels like a century
Since you were 16 and I
I'd hold your hand and tell you that it all
Turns out fine in the end and I want you to be
So proud of the person you are
So real, and [Bm]so stɾong
You took your mistakes and [Bm]you [A7used them [A]to [C7]grow
They became your successes and [Bm]I want you [A7to [C7]know
Don't you [A7get too caught up over what's being said
And it turns out your parents were ɾight in the end
G-D's holding your hand [Bm]so
There's nothing that you [A7cannot do
He's pulling you [A7through
And you'll see it ɾeal soon
He'll carry you
And I hope and [Bm]pray
That you [A7could look up at me now
And you'd say
That I made you [A7proud
Look at what I became
It all [Em]turns out okay
If I could write a letter
To the older me I'd say
No matter what life looks like
Promise you'll keep your head high
Do you [A7still love the things that brought light to [C7]your eyes
Or did you [A7let your dreams go because you [A7don't have the time
Did you [A7learn to [C7]let go of what you [A7can't contɾol
I guess only G-D knows...
Did the bubble burst just like [F]they said it would
Or are you [A7holding on [C7]tight like [F]I know you [A7could
And the darkest of nights end in ɾising sunlight
And you [A7know it'll all [Em]be [Am]alright
G-D's holding your hand
So there's nothing that you [A7cannot do
He's pulling you [A7through
And you'll see it ɾeal soon
He'll carry you
And wherever you [A7are
Is exactly where you're meant to [C7]be
I believe in you
And the life you [A7could lead
Don't give up on [C7]me
So to [C7]me at all [Em]ages and [Bm]me at each stage
I forgive you [A7for [Dm7]all [Em]the mistakes that you'll make
And you're here for [Dm7]a ɾeason [C7]so please don't forget
If I'd write you [A7a letter here's what I would send
Wherever you [A7are
Is exactly where you're meant to [C7]be
And I'm cheering you [A7on
From yourself at 19
Don't give up on [C7]me
And I hope and [Bm]I pray
That you [A7could look back at me now
And you'd say
That I made you [A7proud
Look at what I became
Don't give up on [C7]me
Oh Don't
GD's holding your hand
And He's pulling you [A7through
And you'll see it all [Em]soon
And He'll carry you
Oh He'll carry you
He'll carry you
