Can't Control Lyrics

It all went sideways

The mast hit a wind it could not a break

A task it could not face

But I heard my mother say

"This hell will one day be dim

You'll look back oh and see a thread runs through

It always carried you - it joins the past to truth"

So when the emptiness comes

Be patient my dear

It's just making space for new life to appear

And you can't control the speed

You can't control the need

So please be gentle with the seed

But grace does not take the pain away

She sits by oh your side like a dove

She opens your lungs

She holds your breath in love

So when the emptiness comes

Be patient my dear

It's just making space for new life to appear

And you can't control the speed

You can't control the need

So please be gentle with the seed

Tend to it on your knees

Tend to it on your knees

And it'll rise up to meet your need

But you can't control the speed

You can't control the need

So please be gentle with the seed
