Life Is a Movie

Our bodies are a house,
we live inside them.
Our minds control our bodies,
or we like to think so.
 
But really our minds are there
to record what happens.
To hope, to dream, to wish
and watch the outcome.
 
The One in charge
controls our bodies.
The One chooses
what we do, how we do it.
 
When we want to
do anything,
we can't, we hope, we wish
But The One controls it
 
When we are invited
to do something
we can't, we hope, we wish
But The One controls it
 
When we want to stop
doing everything
we can't, we hope, we wish
But The One controls it

But The One controls it
