What I Cannot Change
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know what makes me comfortable
And I know what makes me tick
And I when I need to get my way
I know how to pour it on thick
Cream and sugar in my coffee
Right away when I awake
I face the day
And pray to God
I won't make
The same mistakes
Chorus:
All the rest
Is out of my hands
I will learn to let go
What I cannot change
I will learn to forgive
What I cannot change
I will learn to love
What I cannot change
But I will change
Yeah, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can
Yeah, I don't know my father
Or my mother well enough
It seems
Like every time we talk
We can't get passed
The little stuff
The pain is self-inflicted
I know it's not good
For my health
But it's easier
To please the world
Then it is to please myself
(Chorus)
Well I know
I can't care about
How everyone else
Really feels
I have enough hurt
Of my own to heal
I will learn
To let go
What I cannot change
I will learn
To forgive
What I cannot change
I will learn
To let go
What I cannot change
I will learn
To forgive
What I cannot change
I will learn
To love
What I cannot change
But I will change
Yeah, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can
