Thinking back
I can remember much uncertainty
About which way to go and what to do
Second guessing
Every choice I made and path I took
Hoping to avoid a bad mistake or two

I could not see a guiding hand through all of it
And how you always make the pieces fit

Looking back
Now I know you planted me where I could grow
Looking back
I can see the way you shape my destiny
Filled my thoughts inside my mood
Looking back
I have such gratitude

Now I understand how you always had my back
And I was never close to being far away
There was never any danger
I could go astray
Your light would always somehow point away

Now I know your loving hand was always there
To pull me back from danger I can't see

Looking back
Now I know you planted me where I could grow
Looking back
I can see the way you shape my destiny
Filled my thoughts. Inspired my mood
Looking back
I have such gratitude

They say that hindsight is always 2020
But I wish that I could understand it now
The way you're making all things work together
But for now, I see what you allow

Oh, whoa, whoa
Looking back
Now I know you planted me where I could grow
Looking back
I can see the way you shake my destiny
Filled my thoughts. Inspired my mood
Looking back
I have such gratitude

They say that hindsight is always 2020
But I wish that I could understand it now
The way you're making all things work together
But for now I see what you allow

You planted me where I could grow
Looking back
I can see the way you shape my destiny
Filled my thoughts and smiled my mood
Looking back
I have such gratitude
