Let You Down

I’ve been wayward, lost at sea

Taunted by who I could be

Tonight that distance

Feels like ten thousand leagues

And I can’t see the love

That's right in front of me

Just trying to grow up and show up

And make my people proud

I can’t stand let you down

Putting your hands on my cheeks

You tell me that I’m not losing ground

I’d rather die than let you down

I won’t let you down

I thumb through pages of a diary

I’m not where he thought I’d be

Trying to stay present

But the boxes are empty

Thinking bout the Miles

That slipped away from me

Steadfast belief

That there is more for me

I got guilt- they tried to burn my family tree

Dreams the size of redwoods

Refuse to let me sleep

If that’s the cost I’ll take the loss
