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.
