THE LETTER Lyrics

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth

Now the earth was formless and empty

Darkness was over the surface of the deep

And the spirit of God was hovering over the waters

And God said let there be light

And there was light

I wrote you this letter when I turned 33

12,000 days behind me passed by like a dream

It's not always been sunny

When it rained man it poured

And you shined like a lighthouse navigating the storm

And one day you'll count the things that I lacked

Most of the things I swear I learned from my old man

But he's always been enough for me

And I pray that I've been enough too

Hey Kid

I wanna thank you for everything

One little baby boy showed me some clarity

Put you up on my shoulders for the world to see

Tripping over toy cars and a lego bridge

Your my pride and my legacy

Fast forward spring time 2023

Said dad can I ask about anything?

Tell me who made you and who made me?

And I said you were beautifully created

Everything from your toes to your eyelids

Little freckles on your face god placed them

Like the stars in the sky and the drops of rain

We were made in his image

He calmed water we get baptized in it

Its the purpose of this life that were living

Just don't forget to appreciate this

We had ups and downs

We've been through it now

It's a life I'd never trade go on and write it down

In you I found faith

Providing all my strength

Your the key in every note

In the letter that I wrote

Your my inspiration the reason I sing

My love recorded not fading away

Built a foundation no one can erase

Hope you listen when you feel alone

A product of love not a product of pain

Hope is just one generation away

Would you pass on what was given to me

Praise be to God he's the only one

When times get hard don't panic

Rise up be the last man standing

You've been blessed with the heart of a lion

Remember everything I told you when you were a kid

From your anger to your patience

You were wonderfully made for a reason

A letter to withstand every season

I'll be hummin in your ear when you need me

We had ups and downs

Weve been through it now

It's a life I'd never trade go on and write it down

In you i found faith

Providing all my strength

Your the key in every note

In the letter that I wrote

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth

Now the earth was formless and empty

Darkness was over the surface of the deep

And the spirit of God was hovering over the waters

And God said let there be light

And there was light

Your my inspiration the reason I sing

My love recorded not fading away

Built a foundation no one can erase

Hope you listen when you feel alone

A product of love not a product of pain

Hope is just one generation away

Would you pass on what was given to me

Praise be to God he's the only one
