You’ve made progress in life
Now what do you do
You’ve hemmed and you’ve hawed
And wondered about life too
You don’t really know where you’ve come from
Or how far you will go
Life has a way of taking hold
Hold tight and don’t let go
We think we are in charge of life
Of what is going on
And even when we plan our day
Something can still go wrong
So we’re told to build our lives
On just letting go
Of believing in faith and a higher form
And energy that moves to and fro
How can we hold onto something
That we cannot hold or see
How can we just stop doing
And allow ourselves to be
For if we can in truth let go
And allow a higher form
Then what does that mean about who we are
As we steer though the storm
We have a body and mind and more
And higher self that guides the ship
And it’s ok to make mistakes
And allow ourselves to slip
If we just learn from our misfortunes
And make them for no more
Then God will guide our ship body
Through pleasant and through storm
Our job is just to stay on board
And not make too much fuss
Just play the game and do what’s best
And be an authentic us
