"Not In Control" lyrics

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
