power?

What if I was in control?
Would I stop it all, or
Would I let it flow?
The fireflies flying around,
Showing how they glow.
Would I put an end to it, or
Would I sit in a corner while,
I bring together the puzzle in bits?
The bright sun; the clear sky
Would I cover it all, or
Would I let the toddlers crawl?
The smiles on the faces;
the joy in the places
Would I turn it all around
And enjoy the frown, or
Would I act the same,
And live with my people
In a small town?
What if I was in control?
Would peace help my soul, or
Would I end it all?
What if I was in control?
