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.
