"Part of the Plan" by Dan Fogelberg


I've had this feeling so 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
The days miss their mark and the nights get so dark
Some kind of message comes through to you
Some kind of message comes through...And it says to you:

Love while you can, cry when you have to
Be who you must, that's a part of the plan
Await your arrival with simple survival
Some 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

You're conscience awakes and you see your mistakes
And you wish someone would buy your confessions
You wait for the sun but it never quite comes
Some kind of message comes through to you
Some kind of message shoots through

Love while you can, cry when you have to
Be who you must, that's a part of the plan
Await your arrival with simple survival
Some day we'll all understand...

There is no Eden, no heavenly gates
That we're gonna make it to someday
All of the answers you seek can be found
In the dreams that you dream on the way...
