What I See Now

If I could go back to the seventh grade
I'd tell myself, you'll be OK
You're the last one picked and the first one out
But wouldn't let it get you down
Middle school is a lonely road
You're faking sick to stay at home
But give it time and you will find
Friends you'll have for your whole life

Ooh you're gonna make it through
I promise that you'll do somehow
I wish you could see what I see now

If I could go back to 23
To the nights I cried myself to sleep
Lying in my bed alone
With nobody to have and hold
I'd say that I know the feeling well
When the girl you love loves someone else
But give it time and you will find
A lover who won't leave your side

Ooh you're gonna make it through
I promise that you'll do somehow
I wish you could see what I see now
I see a perfect plan, I see God's guiding hand
I see a better man, you'll be a better man
Sometimes it takes a while, sometimes it takes the trials
To open up your eyes

So here I am at 29
But I feel just like that boy sometimes
Praying, please God give me faith
To make it through just one more day
But every time I have those fears
I think of me in twenty years
Telling me, you'll be just fine
Just keep on walking towards the light
Just keep on walking towards the light
Yeah, you'll be just fine
Just give it time, give it time
Ooh

Oh, just keep on walking towards the light
