DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE SMALL, FEAR OF FAILURE WAS A VERY DIM LIGHT
YOU DIDN’T CARE IF YOU EMBARASSED YOURSELF, SO YOU TRIED EVERY THING IN SIGHT

PEOPLE’S OPINIONS DIDN’T MATTER TOO MUCH, AND EVERY DAY WAS JUST FULL OF FUN
YOU LAUGHED AND PLAYED TILL THE SUN WENT DOWN, AND EVEN WHEN YOU LOST YOU WON

YOU WEREN’T AFRAID TO LAUGH AT YOUR SELF, WHEN YOU STRUGGLED TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW
IT DIDN’T MATTER WHAT ANYONE THOUGHT, FOR JESUS’S LOVE WAS WHAT SATISFIED YOU

FOR YOU COULD LAUGH AT YOURSELF, ‘CAUSE YOU KNEW YOU WERE GOD’S GIRL OR BOY
YOU JUST DIDN’T CARE WHAT OTHERS MIGHT THINK
FOR THE LORD HAD FILLED YOUR HEART WITH JOY

NOW THAT YOU’RE OLDER IT ISN’T THE SAME, WHAT WILL PEOPLE THINK IF YOU DON’T SUCCEED
SO MANY EXPECTATIONS TO ALWAYS DO RIGHT, IT’S MORE PRESSURE THAN A PERSON SHOULD NEED

IT SEEMS YOU JUST CAN’T JUST LAUGH AT YOUR SELF
WHEN YOU STRUGGLE TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW
IT REALLY MATTERS WHAT EVERYONE THINKS
AND YOU’VE FORGOTTEN HOW MUCH JESUS LOVES YOU
WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT JOY IN YOUR LIFE, WHY ARE YOU WORKING SO HARD JUST TO PLEASE
AND EVERY TIME YOU TRY SOMETHING NEW
YOU HAVE A FEAR THAT YOU’LL BE BROUGHT TO YOUR KNEES

WHY CAN’T YOU LAUGH AT YOURSELF, AS IF YOU WERE STILL GOD’S GIRL OR BOY
YOU WORRY SO MUCH WHAT OTHERS MIGHT THINK
THAT THE LORD CAN’T FILL YOUR HEART WITH JOY
YOU NEED TO LAUGH AT YOURSELF, DON’T TAKE THIS WORLD SO SERIOUSLY
YOU CAN’T BE CONCERNED WHAT OTHERS MIGHT THINK
TRUST THE LORD AND HE WILL SET YOU FREE

THERE’S A GIFT JUST WAITING FOR YOU, TO MAKE YOUR LIFE COMPLETE IN YOUR HEART
JESUS SAYS: “YOU’RE NOW BORN AGAIN, HERE’S A NEW LIFE TO LIVE NOW GO START”

YOU MUST RE-LEARN TO LAUGH AT YOURSELF, WHEN YOU STRUGGLE TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW
IT SHOULDN’T MATTER WHAT OTHERS MIGHT THINK, LET JESUS’ LOVE BE WHAT SATISFIES YOU
SO PUT BACK THAT JOY IN YOUR LIFE, DON’T BE WORKING SO HARD JUST TO PLEASE
DON’T BE AFRAID TO JUST LOVE YOUR LORD
AND GIVE PRAISE WHEN YOU ARE BROUGHT TO YOUR KNEES

YOU NOW CAN LAUGH AT YOURSELF, ‘CAUSE YOU KNOW YOU’RE STILL GOD’S GIRL OR BOY
YOU NEVER WILL CARE WHAT THIS WORLD MAY THINK
FOR THE LORD HAS FILLED YOUR HEART WITH JOY
YOU LOVE TO LAUGH AT YOURSELF, FOR THE LORD AT LAST HAS SET YOU FREE
SO SHOUT TO THE WORLD ‘CAUSE YOU ARE HIS CHILD, SAYING JESUS LOVES BOTH YOU AND ME

YOU LOVE TO LAUGH AT YOURSELF, FOR THE LORD AT LAST HAS SET YOU FREE
SO SHOUT TO THE WORLD ‘CAUSE YOU ARE HIS CHILD, SAYING JESUS LOVES BOTH YOU AND ME
YOU LOVE TO LAUGH AT YOURSELF, FOR THE LORD AT LAST HAS SET YOU FREE
