TELL ME HOW

How do I control this run-away heart -
put it in low-gear . . .
stop the slide?

How do I get it off of this course -
take back the reins . . .
enjoy the ride?

How do I level out this plane -
land it safely . . .
come in on gentle glide?

How do I get from ship to shore -
in spite of storms . . .
and daily tides?

Oh, how do I get on in this life -
attached to you . . .
and keep my pride?
