in control hey, it doesn't matter what you know but you're lost if you can't feel open up let someone show you life, it can really be so fine but is sometimes such a drag there are times it seems uptight undone and so surreal but i recover when i see the light guess it's time i turn on again better tell myself wait a minute don't forget it good to be alive and though i won't give up i won't waste my time cause there's no guarantee got me lookin' for it can't ignore it everything's alright i can handle this insanity just fine in control

Song Production Information
Tim Jensen
I wrote the lyrics for "in control" with the image of young people today, old enough to see the world as is, with its ups and downs, good times and bad times but not too jaded to just give up, instead, being strong enough to be positive and keep moving forward being cool enough to be "in control" of their own lives.
