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
