This Is The Stuff
Francesca Battistelli's song 'This Is the Stuff' is a lighthearted yet honest reflection on everyday frustrations, from losing keys to getting a speeding ticket. She acknowledges how small annoyances can overshadow gratitude, but she uses these moments to remind herself that God is in control and uses even the mundane struggles to shape her character. The song encourages trust in God's plan, even when it doesn't match personal preferences, and asks for patience and a new perspective. It's a relatable, upbeat reminder to count blessings amid life's little messes.
I lost my keys in the great unknown
And call me please 'cause I can't find my phone
This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
Might not be what I would choose
But this the stuff You use
45 in a 35 sirens and fines
While I'm running behind
Whoa ho ho
This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess,
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
Might not be what I would choose
But this the stuff You use
So break me of impatience
Conquer my frustrations
I've got a new appreciation
It's not the end of the world
Whoa ho ho ho
Oooooh This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff
Someone save me
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
Might not be what I would choose
But this the stuff You use
Whoa whoa ho ho
This is the stuff You use.
