[Verse 1]
Realizing the right time
Is not often in line
With what I always think it should be
I've been learning the hard way
Though it's good for me they all say
I'm in denial everyday

[Chorus]
Go easy on me
Oh God, I pray
Have mercy on me
In this waiting game
Go easy on me
When the tides don't change
When I think they should change

[Verse 2]
Control is a killer
It's been wrapping its arms around me
Fooling me into thinking I can predict my own fate
Oh, what a commotion
Oh, in giving it my devotion
Now I'm upside-down and tossing, turning in these waves

[Chorus]
Go easy on me
Oh God, I pray
Have mercy on me
In this waiting game
Go easy on me
When the tides don't change
When I think they should change

[Bridge]
I'm releasing control
I'm collecting my fears
Falling at Your feet
Find me waiting here
Take me by the hand
And as a Father would
Tell me You have a plan
Tell me it's gonna be good
Oh, it's gonna be good
[Chorus]
Go easy on me
Oh God, I pray
Have mercy on me
In this waiting game
Go easy on me
When the tides don't change
When I think they should change
Go easy on me
Oh God, I pray
Have mercy on me
In this waiting game
Go easy on me
When the tides don't change
When I think they should change

[Outro]
When I think they should change
