Part Of The PlanI 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 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... (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 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 |
Fogelberg When Joe Walsh (of the rock group James Gang) heard the guitar solo on "Part of the Plan," he loved it, and convinced Graham Nash to drive over and sing harmonies. The record went to the top of the charts. "That broke the whole thing open. In an instant I went from being an opening act to being a headliner," said Fogelberg. "Souvenirs" radiated with Fogelberg's melodic brilliance as well as proving that the man also knows how to rock. |
