#51 Planning

You can spend a lifetime planning
Where your lifetime's gonna go
You can spend a lifetime planning
All the things you're gonna know
You can spend a lifetime planning
Trying to decide just one decision
You can spend a lifetime planning
Finalising your grand life vision

And I know you

You're the sort of perfectionist
For whom the devil's in all details
For whom every plan has a plan
And plans for what those plans then entail

When your lifetime plan is done
And has been checked over twice
Then you can really start to be someone
Which I guess will be nice

But new surprises will come through
For all plans have their flaws
What then will you do
You who planned 'til you could plan no more

So here's what's up

Everything in life is a balance
And plans do indeed help life run by
But, there will always exist chance
On that you can rely

Sure the future is scary and unknown
And planning can help to that end
But no matter what fate has sewn
You still have to live in the present, my friend.
