terry scott taylor - i plan, god laughs lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
it’s another door slammed and bolted
it’s one more window locked
you were on your way back home
and now you’re not
with my fingers i form a steeple in such a way
that when i open my hands, there’s no one home
then i call your number just to hear your message on the phone

[pre+chorus 1]
maybe next month
maybe next year
oh my, oh my, it’s been a long, long time

[chorus 1]
i plan
god laughs
i plan
god laughs

[verse 2]
here’s another faded photo
in the year before things changed
i took hard that betrayal
of an old friend, now estranged
how could i be so mistaken?
why couldn’t i see in all that time i’d been walking on a wire?
or that i’d be one of many who got torched in his scorched+earth fire?
[pre+chorus 2]
i thought by now
he’d come around
all would be forgiven ’cause love would break us down

[chorus 2]
i planned
god laughed
i planned
god laughed

[bridge]
the day’s as restless as a landlocked sailor
anxious to move on from old history
his baggage is ready and stacked
against the wall with a yellowing map
and he’s dreaming of the whispering sea

[verse 3]
“you’ll dig a hole to china”
said my younger days
“and die before you get old
go out in a glorious blaze”
i won’t be aloof like my father, rest his soul
or like my mother, worried about too many things
pull myself up by the bootstraps
be an optimistic dancer in the rain
[pre+chorus 3]
maybe next week
sometime this year
these things don’t happen overnight

[chorus 3]
god plans
i laugh
god plans
i laugh
god plans
i laugh
god plans
i laugh
