[Verse 1] The barn door slammed, I let it fall, My temper’s quicker than a cannonball. I said some things I can’t unsay, Left my pride scattered down the driveway. The sky was bruised, the air turned cold, I thought of you as I walked the road. [Chorus] Control what you can, let the rest go, Learn from the cracks where the wild winds blow. Fix what you’ve broken, mend what you’ve torn and Control what you can, and weather the storm. Control what you can, let the rest roll away, Patch up the cracks where the light slips astray. A heart can heal, a hand can hold, You learn as you go, that's how you take Control... [Verse 2] Mama always said, "Son, use your head," But I’d chase the fire and burn instead. Lost a friend, lost some years, And found the truth in the trail of tears. Life’s a dance of fall and rise, Every stumble’s just a new sunrise. [Chorus] Control what you can, let the rest go, Learn from the cracks where the wild winds blow. Fix what you’ve broken, mend what you’ve torn and Control what you can, and weather the storm. Control what you can, let the rest roll away, Patch up the cracks where the light slips astray. A heart can heal, a hand can hold, You learn as you go, that's how you take Control... [Bridge] The river don’t stop, the rain still falls, But the heart’s a house, and love rebuilds walls. You taught me grace in your quiet way, And I’m still learning every day. [Chorus] Control what you can, let the rest go, Learn from the cracks where the wild winds blow. Fix what you’ve broken, mend what you’ve torn and Control what you can, and weather the storm. Control what you can, let the rest roll away, Patch up the cracks where the light slips astray. A heart can heal, a hand can hold, You learn as you go, that's how you take Control... Ohhhhh..... Ohhhhh... Control what you can control...(Control) Control.... What you can control....
