Funny how things slip beyond our grasp
Continue rolling by, while frantically we clasp
I’ve always been the type to seize control
Now I’m standing by, watching the ball roll

Wondering at what the future brings
Desperately, my tired hand still clings
This wasn’t in the plans of my design
Wasn’t in the future I called mine

I’m so afraid of letting go my dream
And finding out things aren’t what they seem
This black hole of fate now pulls me in
The ride of life has just begun to spin

Not laughing anymore, please let me go
Tired of the tossing to and fro
Need the solid ground on which I stood
Now my hopes seem so misunderstood

I fight and fight; it doesn’t go away
Deny the truth; still, it’s here to stay
Way beyond the influence of my soul
Only wish to gain back my control

What I want, no longer does it matter
Glancing back, my dreams begin to shatter
In a fight I no longer hope to win
Surrendering, head first I’m diving in

To the future! Whatever that will be
Living in the moment is the key
No longer do I fight to have my say
Instead, I just say it every day
