Out of control

A bit of a spoken rant at the beginning followed by an attempt to sing a song with a guitar I just put strings on which is very difficult to keep in tune. Tuning and playing at the same time is quite an art.....CONTROL 1-8-06...

CANT CONTROL HOW LONG THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WILL BE RED,
BUT I CAN CONTROL THE REACTION TO IT IN MY HEAD...
CANT CONTROL THE MACHINE WHEN IT BREAKS DOWN,
BUT I CAN APPRECIATE IT WORKING, WHEN THE ANSWER IS FOUND...

CANT CONTROL MY THOUGHTS ON A SLEEPLESS NIGHT,
BUT I CAN SURVIVE THE NEXT DAY UPON THE MORNING LIGHT...
I CANT CONTROL THE OTHER DRIVERS WHILE I AM ON THE ROAD,
BUT MY FAITH TELLS ME ILL BE OKAY DEEP DOWN IN MY SOUL...

ITS SO OUT OF CONTROL BUT THATS ALL RIGHT,
ITS SO FAR OUT OF REACH BUT THE ANSWERS IN SIGHT...
ITS SO FRUSTRATING BUT IT ALL WORKS OUT,
THE ONLY ENEMY IS JUST MY OWN DOUBT ...

I CANT CONTROL THE WORKLOAD THAT SHOWS UP ON MY DESK,
BUT EVEN IF I DO FAIL, I CAN DO MY BEST..
I CANT CONTROL HOW MUCH YOULL LIKE ME FOR WHAT I DO,
BUT MY HEART FEELS A SENSE OF JOY WHEN I SAY I LOVE YOU...

I CANT CONTROL THE WEATHER ON A STORMY NIGHT,
BUT I STILL FEEL A SENSE OF WONDER, WHEN THE SKY IS SO BRIGHT..
I CANT CONTROL JUST WHAT DAY WILL BE THE DAY I DIE,
BUT I CAN LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST WHEN ITS HERE, YA KNOW IM GOING TO TRY..
