Part of the Plan
[Verse 1]
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 gonna do next
You wait for the sun but it never quite comes

[Pre-Chorus]
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
One day we'll all understand
One day we'll all understand

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
And some kind of message comes through to you
Some kind of message shoots 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
One day we'll all understand
One day we'll all understand

[Verse 3]
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
