Part Of The Plan

(album: Friends & Family - 2023)

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
I feel myself starting to crumble

The meanings get lost, and the teachings get tossed
And you don't know what you're gonna 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
Feel you're lost
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 confession
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
Feel you're lost
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 gate
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
