Mo LaFlo - Through My Eyes

It's a letter, to my inner child
One day
You'll see through my eyes
One day, you'll see this
I knew you were unique since just a little girl
Free spirit, kind heart, did what you wanted to
Got people talking saying "This one here, gon' change the world"
Don't compare yourself at all, there's only one of you
You like to laugh and play with Friends but most won't let you in
Something about you being you, really disturbs their spirit
I'm sure you're feeling things but struggling to comprehend
But when you grow older, I promise you'll get it (Hey)
One day, you'll see this through my eyes
I promise you, you'll get it one day
You'll see this through my eyes
(Heyy yeah)
You need it, your love has comfort mine
I promise you, you'll get it one day
You'll see this through my eyes
I know, your mom put perms in your hair
Dad said he'll be there, wasn't there
It keeps happening over and over again
You're like, Who can I trust? I can't let no one in
Hate church cuz they're bashing you in
Women can't like women, men can't like men
That is the upmost sinliest sin
Rebelled cuz you saw all the contradiction
Some things are just hard to get with
You battle depression and struggle with love
Got a big heart but be closing it up
The moment you feel that you ain't good enough
You act tough but it's just a mask
And everybody round you is guaranteed to laugh
So don't hide, maybe just remove your pride
So much changed it when your mom died
You were 25...
Over pride and jealousy
So you'll strive, to continue her legacy
You see that hate can lead people to kill
Instead of returning that energy, you were sent to heal forreal
You're really friendly but you're figuring out
That everybody ain't your friend
They just be running their mouth and chasing the clout
Big moves, they're loving you now
Your mother is still right by your side
She's probably hugging you now
Your mother still right by your side, she's probably hugging you now
Your mother still right by your side, she's probably really the proud yeah
You need it, your love has comfort mine
I promise you, you'll get it one day
You'll see this through my eyes
So Misunderstood
Sometimes it's gon' feel like you can't, but just know you could
Manifest anything you want in life, that's for the good
Relationships will not turn out, how you think it should
But it's all good
Just be patient child, I know it's easier to say but try slowing down
You came a really long way, see you glowing now
Just let them tears run down your face, don't be holding out
Let em flow right out
It's okay, it's okay, it's alright, you can cry
You are safe, you are safe, please don't hide in the dark
It's a maze not a race, but don't doubt, you are smart
It's okay cuz one day, you will see through my eyes yeah
See through my eyes yeah
Cuz one day you will see through my eyes yeah
