Abba I'm writing you this letter
Cuz I miss you from where I'm at
War has come and separated us
And I'm growing up in sin
I kill My brothers and sisters
With the anger in my soul
Perverted in my lust and darkness
Daddy, I wish I had not gone

And Andrew always tells me
I need to grow up now
And Caroline always says that
You never were Love
And the only thing that I know
Is that I know Your Embrace
And I don't wanna grow up
If it means growing away
Growing away from You

Abba, I sinned and lost that fight
I was angered towards You
And I now realized my folly
when I was halfway through it
I know I grieved your heart, Lord
When I turned away from you
Twisted and broken, I lived in sin
Daddy, I ask You to forgive!

And Andrew is not my God
I need to trust in You
Caroline may fall away
From faith in Your love
The only thing I long for is
Your peace, presence and embrace
I never wanna grow up
If it means growing away
Growing away from You

Daddy, I see you down the road
I'm finally returning Home!
Daddy, I run into your arms
Carrying the letters You wrote me
When I was in war!
Daddy, how I missed you
Homesick and always longing
To just hold you tightly!
Daddy, let me embrace You in my arms!
Cuz I'm Home from war...

Andrew liked to say I need
To put on big girl pants
And Caroline pressured me
To stop speaking faith
And I was wounded but I know
You were always with me and
I never really grew up
Cuz it meant growing away
Growing away from You!
