Lyrics
What would I say to the child I once was
What advice would I impart to a dear little one
You know you shouldn’t take it so seriously
Don’t take it into your heart
Just let it go and know
There’s a strength inside of you
Like a pool you can dive into
Dive down deep whenever you need
Dive down deep into that pool
What would I say to the child I once was
What wisdom could I share with a precious heart
All those unkind difficult people
Have trouble and unseen
Don’t take it into your soul
Let it be and know
There’s a strength deep inside of you
Like a pool you can dive into
Dive down deep whenever you need
Dive down deep into that pool
What would I say to the child I once was
What wisdom but impart to a dear precious heart
There’s a pool of strength inside of you
