Intro
Verse 1
You'll Be Thirteen, Listening To Billy Graham
And You'll Hear The Choir Singing "Just As I Am"
It's Gonna Feel Like God's Meeting You Right There
It's Very Important That You Say That Prayer
Verse 2
You'll Be Sixteen, Waking Up Fighting Mad
'Cause It's Too Much Pressure When The Preacher's Your Dad
And You'll Wanna Turn Your Back On Everything You Know
But It's Very Important That You Turn Back Home
Chorus
The World Will Bend You
But It Won't Break You
God's Got A Plan, So Take His Hand And Let Him Take You
On A Wild Ride, So Just Hold On Tight
It Won't Be Easy, But Believe Me, It's The Best Life
Just Sittin', Here Talking To A Younger Me
And You'd Be Smiling If You Could See What I See
Verse 3
You'll Be Twenty-One, Singing Songs In Tennessee
Getting Nothing But "No's" From The Powers That Be
They're Gonna Tell You, "You're Just Not Good Enough"
It's Very Important That You Don't Give Up
Verse 4
And You'll Be Twenty-Five When You Meet Emily
And You'll Be Right When You Think She's Out Of Your League
She'll Help You Grow Some More Branches On Your Family Tree
So It's Very Important That You Buy That Ring
Chorus
And The World Will Bend You
But It Won't Break You
God's Got A Plan, So Take His Hand And Let Him Take You
On A Wild Ride, So Just Hold On Tight
It Won't Be Easy, But Believe Me, It's The Best Life
Just Sittin', Here Talking To A Younger Me
And You'd Be Smiling If You Could See What I See
Instrumental Break
Bridge
Well, I Ain't Gonna Lie, Your Heart's Gonna Hurt
But All The Pain Will Be Worth It, For What It's Worth
So Keep Running Your Race Now, Younger Me
'Cause You'd Be Smiling If You Could See What I See
