akira the don - some things are in our control (and others not) lyrics
[chorus]
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
things in our control
opinion, aim, desire, aversion and, in a word, whatever are our own actions
whatever are our own actions
things not in our control
money, property, reputation, command and, in a word, whatever are not our own actions
whatever are not our own actions
the things in our control are by nature free
unrestricted and unhindered
unrestricted and unhindered
but those not in our control arе wеak, dependent
rеstricted, alien, restricted, alien
remember then if you suppose the things which are dependent are
also, free and take for thee what belongs to others then
you will be hindered, you’ll lament, you’ll be disturbed
you’ll find fault with gods and men
you’ll find fault with gods and men
[chorus]
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
but if you take for your own only that which is your own
and view what belongs to others such as it really is
no one will ever compel you
no one will ever restrict you
you’ll find fault with no one
you will accuse no one
you will do nothing against your will
no one will hurt you, you’ll have no enemy and you will not be harmed
aiming, therefore, at such great things
remember you must not allow no tendency in yourself to be trying to attain those lesser things
instead, you must entirely quit some
and for now postpone the rest
but if you would both have these great things along with power and riches
you’ll not even gain the latter
’cause you’re aiming at the former
and you’ll fail at the former
by which alone happiness and freedom are achieved
[chorus]
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
[chorus]
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
work then so to say to every harsh appearance
you are but an appearance, and by no means the real thing
and then examine it by those rules which you have
and first and chiefly this
and first and chiefly this
whether it concerns things in our control
or those which are not
or those which are not
and if it concerns anything not in our control
be prepared to say that it is nothing to you
[chorus]
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
[chorus]
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
some things are in our control
and others not
