I won't forget the day you came into my world Spring on the horizon, Then came a baby girl
Eyes like an ocean, fresh like ivy green Like a shooting star guiding
God gave me a new dream And I know someday you'll come to understand
It's not easy, seeing you get old And it's not easy, watching your feet grow
Oh, I know it's a part of God's plan But it's not easy, seeing the world hurt you
And it's not easy, when you doubt me to find the truth
Oh, I wouldn't trade it for the world But it's not easy
Grew up in the mountains, right near the county line Raised by Christian parents, I couldn't ask for a better life
We didn't have a lot of money, but we always did get by
We all made mistakes, but I'd say we all turned out fine
And if you were to ask them how they felt, they'd say
It's not easy, seeing you get old And it's not easy, watching you leave home
Oh, I know it's a part of God's plan But it's not easy, seeing the world hurt you
And it's not easy, when you doubt me to find the truth
Oh, I know it's a part of God's plan But it's not easy
In 1997, the year that I was born I came out hardly breathing, now my lungs have been restored
Saving me back then like you saved me my whole life
The God who's been watching and in me you still delight
And if I were to ask you how you felt, you'd say
It's not easy, seeing you get old And it's not easy, watching you leave home
Oh, I know it's a part of my plan But it's not easy, seeing the world hurt you
And it's not easy, when you doubt me to find the truth
No, I know it's a part of my plan And it's not easy
Oh, it's not easy
And it's not easy
And it's not easy
