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
