Understand one thing If and when you drink From this vast ocean You can't control it You can't control it Did Mom forget to tuck you in? Make you begin a war within your head One that you could never win Send in the truth, send insecurity What does it matter in the end? So Daddy told you, "Hold your chin up son...and Understand one thing If and when you drink From this vast ocean You can't control it" You can't control it With the procession under way Understand the magnitude of the melodies that they made Did it fill your lungs with rage? What's the matter did catastrophe get you tongue-tied and afraid? When the hand began to play Daddy wiped the tears away he said, "Son, please... Understand one thing If and when you drink From this vast ocean You can't control it" You can't control it You can't control it
