Being influenced by disasters,
Those who’ll never be comforters,
By profession they’re affecter s,
In action they are arresters,
How can you lose self-control?
The act of taking over yourself,
The hope to wish for yourself,
Making all decisions for yourself,
The act of protection yourself,
How can you lose self-control?
Chance for help-seeking is applicable,
The living condition is comfortable,
Problem occurrence is detectable,
The mass of influence is measurable,
Every time you’re always available,
How can you lose self-control?
