MercyMe - Dear Younger Me lyrics

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

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 cuz
They’re choices that made me
Even though I love this crazy life
Sometimes I wish it was a smoother ride
Dear younger me, dear younger me

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 not 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
You are free indeed

Every mountain every valley
Thru 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
You are free indeed
