Dan Fogelberg - Part of the Plan lyrics

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...

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 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 --

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 that you dream

On the way.
