Part of the Plan

Part Of The Plan - Dan Fogelberg

I have these moments

All steady and strong

I'm feeling so holy and humble

The next thing I know

I'm all worried and weak

And I feel myself starting to crumble

The meanings get lost and the teachings get tossed

And you don't know what you're going to do next

You wait for the sun but it never quite comes

Some kind of message comes through to you

Some kind of message comes through

And it says to you

Love when you can

Cry when you have to

Be who you must that's a part of the plan

Await your arrival

With simple survival

And one day we'll all understand

One day we'll all understand

One day we'll all understand

I had a woman who gave me her soul

But I wasn't ready to take it

Her heart was so fragile and heavy to hold

And I was afraid I might break it

Your conscience awakes and you see your mistakes

And you wish someone would buy your confessions

The days miss their mark and the night gets so dark

And some kind of message comes through to you

Some kind of message shoots through

And it says to you

Love when you can

Cry when you have to

Be who you must that's a part of the plan

Await your arrival

With simple survival

And one day we'll all understand

One day we'll all understand

One day we'll all understand

There is no Eden or heavenly gates

That you're gonna make it to one day

But all of the answers you seek can be found

In the dreams that you dream on the way
