It started out so perfect - you know it always does
When he could do no wrong - remember how it was
You held him in your arms, a son to bear your name
And dreamed about the future you wanted him to claim

But now the path he's taken is straying from your course
The choices that he's making are not the same as yours
Pride turns to anger as you try to make him see
The gulf between you widens and the distance dims your plea

Caught up in old patterns, I know you think you're right
Demanding that he change has robbed you of insight

To change him would be to ask the earth to stop its spin
To keep the rain from falling, to redirect the wind
Blinded by control's illusion, can't you see the truth
The irony that what you really need to change is you

It started out so perfect - you know it always does
When she could do no wrong - remember how it was
If your voice was raised, it rose in laughter's name
If your hand was clenched, it was only for some game

But now your adulation is buried under veils
Of anger and resentment at how you think she fails
The very things about her that once enriched your life
Have now become the axes that you grind and throw like knives

Caught up in old patterns, I know you think you're right
Demanding that she change has robbed you of insight

To change her would be to ask the earth to stop its spin
To keep the rain from falling, to redirect the wind
Blinded by control's illusion, can't you see the truth
The irony that what you really need to change is you

To change them would be to ask the earth to stop its spin
To keep the rain from falling, to redirect the wind
Blinded by control's illusion, can't you see the truth
The irony that what you really need to change is you
