Remote No Control

We cannot control the hands of time So we can’t skip forward or press rewind Something’s in life we cannot change Our past is our past, which will always remain The future is a mystery that we cannot see But our present in life is both magical to both you and me The hands of time cannot be changed So why don’t we live our life for today Instead of wasting our time away By worrying about another day In life there are no slow modes like Comcast on demand You can’t say “I missed it” and replay it again You only get one shot at life and that’s all you really need So put that remote control down Because your life and time is not on t.v.
