Not in Control

These troubles have got their hold on me

These paranoying thoughts don't allow me any sleep

I ask myself, how and when did I get here?

When I looked down

I must have allowed an entry way for my fears

We're not to dwell on the temporary

We're not to dwell on momentary things

So consuming

We're not to trust in fickle feelings

But holding loosely to dreaming

And earthly things

Nothing happens like you think... yeah

What's behind and what's ahead isn't left to me

I've gotta loosen my grip on what I thought life would be

Your knowledge far surpasses what I can see

All of my ill-judged solutions just prolong my misery

We're not to live through memories

But moving on and pressing forward

Forgetting what's behind

We're not to live through worry

But let peace fill the void of anxiety

Nothing happens like you think

We're not in control

We're finite souls with an infinite creator

We weren't meant to carry the world on these shoulders

We have such limited views

When fear is our excuse

We try to find an easy way

But that's not where we are meant to stay

Your knowledge far surpasses what I can see

I've gotta loosen my grip for what I thought life would be

Nothing happens like you think

Nothing happens like you think
