For King & Country's song 'Control' is a heartfelt confession of surrender and dependence on God. The lyrics express the struggle of letting go of personal plans and fears, admitting weariness and the need for divine guidance. The singer asks God to align their eyes, ears, hands, feet, and dreams with His, symbolizing total submission. The chorus declares giving up control of body, mind, and soul, acknowledging inability to face life alone. The song culminates in a resolve to raise a voice in praise, offering it as the only thing left to bring. It's a raw, honest prayer for help and a declaration of trust in God's sovereignty.

You asked me to let go but I thought I knew better
Afraid of surrender and what I don't know
I've always had a plan but now I'm so weary
And I can't see clearly, forgot who I am
So won't You make my eyes Your eyes
My ears Your ears, my tears Your tears
And won't you make my hands Your hands
My feet Your feet, my dreams Your dreams
I give up control, oh, oh whoa
Body, mind, and soul, oh, oh whoa
Can't do this on my own, alone, no
I give up control
Can I speak honestly? I've still got some questions
Still fightin' attention, I need some relief
No, I'm no Superman, this is my confession
Been learnin' my lesson, help me understand
So won't You make my eyes Your eyes
My ears Your ears, my tears Your tears
And won't you make my hands Your hands
My feet Your feet, my dreams Your dreams
I give up control, oh, oh whoa
Body, mind, and soul, oh, oh whoa
Can't do this on my own, alone, no
I give up control
I will raise my voice and sing
I will, I will raise my voice and sing
It's all I've got left to bring
I will, I will raise my voice and sing
I will raise my voice and sing
I will, I will raise my voice and sing, yeah
It's all I've got left to bring
I will, I will raise my voice and sing
I give up control
I give up control, oh, oh whoa
Body, mind, and soul, oh, oh whoa
Can't do this on my own, alone, no
I give up control
Oh, give up control, oh, oh whoa
My body, mind, and soul, oh, oh whoa
I can't do this on my own, alone, no
I give up control
Oh, I give up control
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
