LeAnn Rimes - What I Cannot Change Lyrics

I know what makes me comfortable
And I know what makes me tick
And when I need to get my way
I know how to pour it on thick

Cream and sugar in my coffee
Right away when I awake
I face the day and pray to God
I won't make the same mistakes
All the rest is out of my hands

I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can

Yeah, I don't know my father
Or my mother well enough
It seems like every time we talk
We can't get past the little stuff

The pain is self-inflicting
I know it's not good for my health
But it's easier to please the world
Than it is to please myself
All the rest is out of my hands

I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can

Right now I can't care about
How everyone else really feels
I have enough hurt of my own to heal

I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change

I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can

  This is a beautiful song. I am a very greatful member of Al-Anon and this is what we believe and say everyday. Our serenity prayer is just this...we cannot change anyone else but ourselves.
  
  I know that this song had to come from the heart!
