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. . .

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 --

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

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

Part of the Plan
  • In this song, it seems that Fogelberg was coming to grips with the consequences and responsibilities of his new celebrity, while trying to maintain balance in love and life. It sounds like he was getting over a relationship:

    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


    In a 1997 online chat, he explained: "It's not really about anyone, it's more of a philosophical piece. I suppose it's about all of us... and none of us."
  • Fogelberg's first hit single, this song is from his platinum-selling second album Souvenirs, which was produced by Joe Walsh. It was a vast departure from Fogelberg's first album (Home Free, 1972), which he recorded in Nashville with Norbert Putnam producing. With that album underperforming commercially, Fogelberg's record company teamed him with Walsh and they recorded the album in Los Angeles.
  • Notables who contributed to the album included Dan Peek from the group America and Graham Nash from Crosby, Stills and Nash. (thanks, Charles - Charlotte, NC, for above 2)
