Control
Who is in control of my life?
Well, it is not me
That's for sure
I am not free
I'm pulled left
I'm pulled right
I'm pulled up and down
No end in sight
I'm like a forming kingdom
I am being fought over
I may not rule myself
But the war is not over
Someone else is always ruling me
My life is hardly mine
At the moments it's the courtsĀ
I truly wish I were lying
I wait for the day
I will own myself
The day I am free
And full of wealth
But for now I am not
For now I am controlled
Left to dream of the day
In which I will not be owned
