Taking Control of Life

There are children playing People saying Live everyday as your last And if you haven't been through something How do you know about the experiences? All I know is that we're all changing But if you know where you stand, it shouldn't matter what obstacles are in the way As long as you have enough faith to pray I've noticed people just let things happen to them But not everybody learns through experience It's so sad because we get so many chances Some people just give up or feel confused Also they feel misguided and misused To tell you the truth I was one of those people Now I look up to the steeple.

Faith will move us so much further than just letting life happen. I like how you say that in this. Very well expressed. Michael
