I guess I never knew no more
A carefree family
We've had our worries
The uncertainties
I never knew any better
But I'm beginning to feel
A burning frustration 
A pain that's real

I can't fight the waves in this stream
I can't swim no more from this current got to give in
I can't fight the waves in this stream
It's our fate
What we'll be we'll be

Sometimes I wander
How it could have been
I keep fighting battles but there is no ware to win
Why can't I accept that
It's just is what it is
It's not all bad I have many good memories

But I can't fight the waves in this stream
I can't swim no more from this current got to give in
I can't fight the waves in this stream
It's our fate
What we'll be we'll be

The struggles keep coming and going
It's a matter of bending and flowing
It's out of my hands I know
I need to learn how to let this go

But I can't fight the waves
I can't swim no more from this current got to give in
I can't fight the waves in this stream
It's our fate
What we'll be we'll be

It's our fate
What we'll be we'll be
