Lyrics:

Dear child
Don’t worry about the past
Lord knows
All the struggles you’ve had
Dear teen
Don’t worry about the mirror
Lord knows
All the ways you’ve felt inferior
Dear me
Don’t worry about the future
Lord knows
You’ll be there sooner or later

I’ve spent my life
Putting together
Puzzle pieces
And taping up 
Ones I ripped

What if I always knew
It would work out?
What if I never had
Any doubts?
Would all these little moments,
Praises that I’ve opened,
Suddenly mean so much less?
Sometimes I thank God
For what I didn’t know yet.

Dear past loves,
The ones who weren’t for me
God knows
Why we weren't meant to be
Dear boy,
That in the future I wed
God knows
Why we couldn’t meet yet.
Dear man,
Who’s gonna be the one
God knows
Why it hasn’t yet begun

What if I always knew
It would work out?
What if I never had
Any doubts?
Would all these little moments,
Love letters I’ve opened,
Suddenly mean so much less?
Sometimes I thank God
For what I didn’t know yet.

Dear little one
Up there right now
Heaven knows
Why you couldn’t come down

What if I always knew
It would work out?
What if I never had
Any doubts?
Would all these little moments,
Gender reveals I’ve opened,
Suddenly mean so much less?
Sometimes I thank God
For what I didn’t know yet.

Yeah I thank God
For what I didn’t know yet.
