Part Of The Plan

Dan Fogelberg

I have these moments, all steady & strong

I'm feeling so holy & humble

The next thing I know I'm all worried & 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 quiet comes

Some kind of message comes thru to you

Some kind of message comes thru.

And it says to you....



Chorus:

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....



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 would 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 thru to you

Some kind of message shoots thru

And it says to you....



(Chorus)



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 you dream on the way.
