jma - act now or let go lyrics
[intro]
[verse 1]
one of the main questions that i’ve struggled with
throughout my life is whether i should act or not, coupled with
the concern to make the best choice. that’s what i’m often troubled with
because these choices are like b-lls that i’m juggling with:
i’ve come to the end of my understanding, unable to make a decision
swinging back and forth like a pendulum, trying to reason
in order to find the right solution
it doesn’t matter what’s the situation:
if it’s a dream that seems too far to reach
or a relationship you’ve given your all and nothing has improved since
or some problem you’ve tried to solve and make sense of
you come back to the same question: “maybe it’s not meant to be, hence
i should let it be?” but hesitancy has overcome your heart and you still wonder:
“if i’d try one more time, maybe it will happen, maybe a wonder
will occur? so, should i try some more? maybe it’s just behind the last corner
before i reach my goal and then everything will change?” you ponder
have you been there, too, or am i the only one asking that same question time and again?
when you keep circling the same lap, without seeing a way it could end
you keep running and running, but only running out of strength, tired of trying again
asking the same questions: “is it gonna change? when?”
[verse 2]
one of the best answers i’ve heard is:
“do your best and let god do the rest,” and yes, often it is really confirming
but what if you’re absolutely exhausted and hurting
unable to give anymore because nothing is working?
so, it’s not that simple, you see, there’s a lot more layers to it
therefore, it’s not just enough to say, “just do it!”
because what if you can’t “just do it,” for the last time you tried, you blew it?
now you’re disappointed and about to give up and say, “screw it!”
still, deep down, you know you’d always keep asking yourself:
“what if i had given it one more try, would i be somewhere else?”
so, if you don’t do it, you’ll always keep wondering, whereas
if you do and nothing changes, you’ll keep asking yourself, why didn’t you finish
often when my best isn’t enough and it’s not just coming to p-ss
i’ve asked myself, maybe i’ve misunderstood what god has
tried to tell me and that’s why i’m here and not where i thought i’d be
but what if it’s not and i’d only lose what he has in store for me?
there is no one simple answer, as the situations may not be that simple
while “do your best and let god do the rest” is so true, then for example
there can be problems that are not that easy to be tackled
sometimes the more you struggle and hustle the more you’ll be tangled
so, it’s not just black and white, not whether you fix it up or burn it down
i’ve understood that there’s a lot more shades of gray in between, i’ve found out
that sometimes the house cannot be repaired, but the only way how
it could be fixed, is to rebuild it from the ground up
so, at times, you have to fully release in order to get to
what you’ve been holding on all along. are you willing to let go
and let god take the control? because sometimes in order to win
you have to let go and let god. not give in but give it to him
it requires full surrender and trust in knowing that he can do better
than what you’ve been able to do this far or what you could ever
do by yourself. it might not go the way you wanted, but your endeavors
are not wasted, because sometimes, it’s the only way it can happen in your favor
[outro]
[prayer]
god, grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change
courage to change the things i can
and wisdom to know the difference
amen
