Serenity from Serenity by Trina Brunk
Months ago, in a moment of exasperation at some of the things that were happening in my family, I found myself reaching for the words of the Serenity prayer. It occurred to me that I needed them to be in a song so I could remember them better, so I wrote one. I hope you enjoy it! The prayer goes: "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."

Lyrics
Sometimes it feels like this whole world has gone crazy
Sometimes I think that it’s driving me crazy too
I wish that I could find
a space of peace of mind
To let go of who’s right and face what’s true
God grant to me the serenity to accept the things that are meant to be
And may there be the courage in me to be the change that I wish to see
And will you teach my eyes to be truly wise and to see
What i need to see
With a heart of serenity
Lying awake the train of my thoughts has gone crazy
thinking bout what I should’ve said or didn’t do
wheels go round and round
With no answers to be found
I wish that i could step off and be free
chorus
Sometimes I find it hard to mind my own business
And goodness knows I’ve got plenty of business to mind
But I don’t want to look away
if there’s something I could do or say
that could help someone to make it through the day
chorus
Oh how i wish that i could be
filled with sweet serenity
to ease my mind
i’ll turn it over again
