Is this a church or a prison
The windows aren?t stained
And I can?t even tell
If that woman is prayin?

?Six weeks you?ll be here?
My head hurts like hell
?Admit you?re powerless?
Well, how can she tell

But the angels sing
Oh, the angels sing

Accept what you can?t change
Recognize the difference
You?re not a prisoner
Unless you choose it
You can?t stop the world
Or tell it how to turn
But you can have the courage
To live in it

I needed to get outside
I needed to clear my head
A guy offered a smoke and asked
Surprised that you?re not dead?

I said I can?t go back there
He said you think it?s tough in here
This part is easy
Try lookin? in the mirror

And through my tears
I heard the angels sing

Accept what you can?t change
Recognize the difference
You?re not a prisoner
Unless you choose it
You can?t stop the world
Or tell it how to turn
But you can have the courage
To live in it
