“The Letter (One of a Kind)” Song Lyrics

From the album, Go, by Newsboys

Peter Furler

I wrote you a letter
Things could be better
Full of promises, every hope and dream
Did you get it? Have you read it?

Is take the place of you
Oh can't you see you’re...one of a kind

I know it's hard to hear promises
When the blue has turned to grey
Nobody said it was easy
But I know you'll find your way
