[Verse 1]
My heart beats without permission.
My lungs fill without my say.
My cells divide and multiply every single day.
I never started these processes.
I cannot make them cease.
They run by Hashem's command.
They flow by His release.

[Chorus]
I am not in control of what keeps me alive.
Hashem designed these parts of me that don't need me to survive.
I am not in control, though I pretend to be.
Hashem is truly running the parts I cannot see.

[Verse 2]
When I sleep, His work continues.
When I'm stressed, He adapts the plan.
When I'm born, His system's working before I understand.
I didn't learn how to digest food.
I didn't teach my blood to flow.
Hashem programmed my every cell with wisdom I don't know.

[Chorus]
I am not in control of what keeps me alive.
Hashem designed these parts of me that don't need me to survive.
I am not in control, though I pretend to be.
Hashem is truly running the parts I cannot see.

[Bridge]
My body is a testament to something far beyond
My understanding or my reach, the divine hand of God.
Each heartbeat is a miracle, each breath a holy gift,
A reminder of the One who gives my soul its lift.

[Verse 3]
This isn't abstract theology.
This is everyday reality.
My conscious mind just borrows time in Hashem's grand totality.
So when my pride rises up, when my ego starts to swell,
I remember even my next breath is in Hashem's hands as well.

[Chorus]
I am not in control of what keeps me alive.
Hashem designed these parts of me that don't need me to survive.
I am not in control, though I pretend to be.
Hashem is truly running the parts I cannot see.

[Outro]
Each motion is a blessing.
Each system is a sign
That Hashem's hand is present in every part of life.
