What I Cannot Change

 
Currently Listening
Family
By LeAnn Rimes

So I was doing my usual thing at work, listening to my internet radio on pandora.com (so awesome if you haven't heard of it!!!) while I was looking at data, and this song came on from Leann Rimes: 'What I Cannot Change' from her album Family.  It started out really slow and pretty.  When I started listening to the words, it moved me so much.  I went out and bought the cd this weekend, and I have been listening to it non-stop.

One problem that I have with my life is that I worry to much about what I can't change, and I don't worry enough about what I can.  No more!!!!  I want to look back on my life and know I made a difference at the end, not how rich or how many friends I had...

Here's the lyrics:

I know what makes me comfortable
I know what makes me tick
And when I need to get my way I know how to pour it on thick
Cream 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
Oh the rest is out of my hands

I 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 can

I don't know my Father
Or my Mother well enough
Seems like every time we talk we can't get past the little stuff
The pain is self inflicted
I know it's not good for my health
But it's easier to please the world than it is to please myself
Oh the rest is out of my hands

I 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 can

Right now I can't care about how everyone else will feel
I have enough hurt of my own to heal

I 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 can
