Nothing You Can Do
Navigating Life's Uncontrollable Tides: Nothing You Can Do
Lyrics
I do cry
I experience sadness and tears.
over lost time
Reflecting on time that has been lost.
How can you make it up once it's gone
Questioning the possibility of making amends once time is lost.
I wonder if
Contemplating whether satisfaction is attainable.
I'll be satisfied
Speculating if contentment is achievable.
Or lay angry under my gravestone
Considering the potential of harboring anger even after death.
There are things we can't control
Acknowledging the existence of uncontrollable events.
That happen inconveniently
Events that occur at inconvenient times.
That steal away so many days
Events that take away numerous days.
and make us wait patiently
Forcing patience while waiting for a resolution.
Sometimes there's nothing we can do
Acknowledging the inevitability of situations beyond control.
So lets just roll with it until we can break through
Suggesting acceptance and resilience until a breakthrough.
I do cry
Expressing continued sorrow over lost time.
over lost time
Reaffirming emotional response but with a time limit.
but never for very long
Resolving not to dwell on lost time for an extended period.
There's no point
Stating the futility of indulging in self-pity.
in wallowing
Highlighting the inability to recover what is lost.
You can't get back what's gone
There are things you can't control
Recognizing events beyond personal control.
That happen inconveniently
Reiterating inconvenient occurrences.
That steal away so many days
Acknowledging the theft of precious time.
And make us wait patiently
Reinforcing the need for patience in the face of challenges.
Sometimes there nothing we can do
Reiterating the acceptance of situations beyond control.
So lets just roll with it until we can break through
Advocating resilience until a solution is found.
Sometimes there nothing we can do
Repeating the acknowledgment of helplessness at times.
So lets just roll with it until we can break through
Encouraging resilience until a breakthrough is achieved.
