Sometimes

Sometimes, no matter how much you want something, it's just not possible.
He wants that job he just interviewed for,
She needs not to be jealous anymore,
They have to learn to understand each other.

Sometimes, it's under your control.
Take the things you want,
Climb the mountains you can,
Believe in yourself.

Sometimes, you can't control it at all.
We're not miracle workers,
Don't waste your breath,
That's life.

Sometimes optimism doesn't win--
Sometimes, it's just devastating,
But occasionally you aren't done yet.
Sometimes you're in the middle of the story and there are choices yet to be made.

Sometimes life takes you by surprise.
