Just Like I Planned

Walking a dead street all my life

Watching the days slip into the night

And no matter how hard I try

The darkness seems to find me



But your sweet tender eyes

Have always been my guiding light

And you know the world's unkind

But something's resurrected me



And now I'm gonna wait

Til the moment's right

So right

I'm gonna take my time

And be sure I get it right

Too many people now

Can't see wrong from right

I'm gonna take my time

Now I know and understand

That I don't want no part of a world

If I can't live it

Just like I planned



We don't want no part of foolish pride

Try and understand

Before time finds your hourglass

With no sand
