It would be prudent to remain clear of the streets
     As our youth quickly achieve a license to drive a car
     One careless teenager behind the wheel scares me
     The responsibility for the lives of others, never far

     Somehow, we always trust ourselves more than others
     Focusing on ourselves, while a step away from disaster
     Our attitude of perfection or even possibly pride stands
     Poor qualities that can only bring storms of life faster

     We get behind the wheel, steering our life down paths
     Coming to a rigid bend or curve, we crash and burn
     How dangerous are we then, driving without a license
     Thinking we have all the answers, without any concern

     We zoom in our busy lives to achieve ultimate success
     Passing up our last exit, in a trail of dust consumed air
     If only we had been going slower, to see that road
     Left now only to empty destruction, and lonely despair

     Driving a car is no safer, or different than steering our lives
     When it comes to safety, both have the means to supply
     The car with seat belts, and our lives with a loving God
     Both of which receive arguments, and we can so easily deny

     If God were sincerely driving, you would have to wait
     Being taught the lesson of patience, sitting in rush hour
     The environment around you would become clearer
     Seeing through the petty little things, manifest his power

     You fight over the steering wheel, much like your burdens
     Lifting them up to Him, you play tug of war time and again
     If you quit firmly gripping the wheel, control would be taken
     With blessings showered, instead of you asking "when?"

     Will you abidingly trust the One who so created you?
     Do you think "you" can endure life, all on your own?
     I have learned that a loving Father knows my needs
     Yes I have "wants", yet I rejoice in what He has shown

     Jonah tried hiding, Saul was destroyed and Peter denied
     Now God watches over you, awaiting your honest reaction
     Spend some time in prayer, thanking Him for blessings
     Today is the time for peace within, and complete satisfaction
