When You Realize (draft- 1.20.09)

When you realize life never works out like you planned,
It is a great lesson, but it is hard to understand
What you should feel, or what you should do,
Or why these things keep happening to you. 

You can stop and wonder why life is this way,
You can ask and look and wait and pray,
But if you do, be careful that on your dying day,
You aren't still wondering, (wondering)
Wondering why your life is this way**(repeat)

Because you're the only one who knows
Why you do the things that you do
Nobody else can tell you.

Just try and remember, 
When things go from bad to worse,
That life is a blessing as well as a curse

When the sky turns gray,
And when it starts to rain,
It is easy to give into your pain
That being said, knowing nothing is planned,
Think about how you'd feel if it never rained again

There would be no water, no food, and no lakes,
But there would be only sunshine, 
and the levees wouldn't ever break

Now I can impart insights like these onto you,
But the truth is, I haven't a fucking clue
All I know is that when I am sad,
I try to weigh out the good from the bad. 
Yeah I try to weigh out the good from the bad
Yeah, I try to separate the good from the bad
Yeah now I realize there's no such thing 
as good or bad. 
(or passive sentences lol)

It's (a paradox) how we control our own fate


So whether life happens to be bad, good, made-up, or true,
Just be glad that life is happening to you. (repeat)

Just be glad that life is happening to me and you (draw out)
