Life isn’t what happens, but how we react
One hopes in their future, but God’s more exact
My plans and aspirations are on different teams
Looking back, my comfort zone has hampered my dreams
Following the crowd’s a mistake I keep makin
May as well be myself, since everyone’s taken
If a rock breaks a window, the rock didn’t do it
Don’t blame the rock, it’s the person who threw it
I’m a loser whose setbacks never really stop
If we learn more by failing, shouldn’t I be on top
It’s been said that God works in mysterious ways
Yet success comes in years, almost never in days
