What I Cannot Change

I know what makes me comfortable
And I know what makes me tick
And when I need to get my way
I know how to pour it on thickCream and sugar in my coffee
Right away when I awake
I face the day and pray to God
I won't make the same mistakes
All the rest is out of my handsI will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I canYeah, I don't know my father
Or my mother well enough
It seems like every time we talk
We can't get past the little stuffThe pain is self-inflicting
I know it's not good for my health
But it's easier to please the world
Than it is to please myself
All the rest is out of my handsI will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I canRight now I can't care about
How everyone else really feels
I have enough hurt of my own to healI will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot changeI will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can
