Control

CAN’T CONTROL HOW LONG THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WILL BE RED
BUT I CAN CONTROL THE REACTION TO IT IN MY HEAD
CAN’T CONTROL THE MACHINE WHEN IT BREAKS DOWN
BUT I CAN APPRECIATE IT WORKING, WHEN THE ANSWER IS FOUND

CAN’T CONTROL MY THOUGHTS ON A SLEEPLESS NIGHT
BUT I CAN SURVIVE THE NEXT DAY UPON THE MORNING LIGHT
I CAN’T CONTROL THE OTHER DRIVERS WHILE I AM ON THE ROAD
BUT MY FAITH TELLS ME I’LL BE OKAY DEEP DOWN IN MY SOUL

IT’S SO OUT OF CONTROL – BUT THAT’S ALL RIGHT
IT’S SO FAR OUT OF REACH – BUT THE ANSWER’S IN SIGHT
IT’S SO FRUSTRATING – BUT IT ALL WORKS OUT
THE ONLY ENEMY – IS JUST MY OWN DOUBT

I CAN’T CONTROL THE WORKLOAD THAT SHOWS UP ON MY DESK
BUT EVEN IF I DO FAIL, I CAN DO MY BEST
I CAN’T CONTROL HOW MUCH YOU’LL LIKE ME FOR WHAT I DO
BUT MY HEART FEELS A SENSE OF JOY WHEN I SAY I LOVE YOU

I CAN’T CONTROL THE WEATHER ON A STORMY NIGHT
BUT I STILL FEEL A SENSE OF WONDER, WHEN THE SKY IS SO BRIGHT
I CAN’T CONTROL JUST WHAT DAY WILL BE THE DAY I DIE
BUT I CAN LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST WHEN IT’S HERE, YA KNOW I’M GOING TO TRY
