[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Soft Acoustic Guitar, Warm Bass, Brush Drums, Gentle Organ]
[Spoken Vocal]
I don’t know…
(Hold tight…)
Or let go.
[Refrain]
In the hand’s palm
(Calm)
In the role to control
(Out-of-control)
[Verse 1]
Open hand and steady breath
Find the space between the steps
Grip too hard and tension grows
Let it loosen, let it flow
[Chorus]
Calm
(In the palm)
Control
(When the world rolls)
Calm
(Stay steady)
Let go
(When you’re ready)
Out-of-control
(Can take its toll)
Find your center
(Find your soul)
[Verse 2]
Control can be a fragile thing
Like trying to hold a bird’s wing
Close your hand and it may flee
Open wide and let it be
[Instrumental]
[Acoustic Guitar Solo: Fingerpicked Pattern Building Into Warm Strumming]
[Bridge]
In the hand
(There’s a palm)
In the palm
(There’s a calm)
In the role
(To control)
There’s a choice
(In the soul)
[Breakdown]
[Minimal Piano, Soft Bass, Brushes]
At ease…
(As you please)
[Final Refrain]
In the hand’s palm
(Calm)
In the role to control
(Out-of-control)
[Final Chorus]
Calm
(In the palm)
Steady
(When you’re ready)
Calm
(Stay steady)
Let go
(When you’re ready)
Out-of-control
(Won’t take its toll)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Fingerpicked Acoustic Guitar, Warm Organ, Bass, Soft Percussion]
In the hand’s palm…
Calm…
In the role to control…
Out-of-control…
(Through rock n’ roll)
