Have you ever been stuck in a minute
You couldn't control
You just couldn't win it
Have you ever been stuck in a moment
You couldn't own it
So how could you live it
But there's a peace that you can find
In the hardest moments of your life
You've got to find joy in the commission of the hard things
You've got to be light enough to rise above the enemy
You've got to find peace when the firebombs won't cease
And all that you can be is you
(That's the thing that you must do)
Have you ever been stuck with your hands tied
While someone else fights
And just want to dig in
Have you ever been caught with your mouth closed
And no one else knows
You just want to give in
There's a river in your soul
When your world's beyond control
You've got to find joy in the commission of the hard things
You've got to be light enough to rise above the enemy
You've got to find peace when the firebombs won't cease
And all that you can be is you
(That's the thing that you must do)
I know it's hard to imagine a life
Where everything's right
It all just goes right
I know it's hard not to give up the fight
But when it goes wrong
Then you know that you tried
(I bet that you did)
You've got to find joy in the commission of the hard things
You've got to be light enough to rise above what you can't beat
If you ever feel stuck in a minute
Your life's full of those
It's time that you live it
