"Love when you can, cry when you have to
And you don't know what you're going to do next
One day we'll all understand
You wait for the sun but it never quite comes
Your conscience awakes and you see your mistakes
But I wasn't ready to take it
And you wish someone would buy your confessions
Some kind of message comes through
Await your arrival with simple survival
And I feel myself starting to crumble
I have these moments, all steady and strong
"Love when you can, cry when you have to
Be who you must, that's a part of the plan
I had a woman who gave me her soul
In the dreams that you dream on the way
I'm feeling so holy and humble
And one day we'll all understand
And some kind of message comes through to you
Her heart was so fragile and heavy to hold
Songwriter: Dan Fogelberg
And it says to you
But all of the answers you seek can be found

Some kind of message shoots through
One day we'll all understand
And I was afraid I might break it
That you're gonna make it to, one day
The meanings get lost and the teachings get tossed
The days miss their mark and the night gets so dark
Some kind of message comes through to you
Await your arrival with simple survival
One day we'll all understand"
There is no Eden or Heavenly gates
And it says to you
And one day we'll all understand
One day we'll all understand"
Be who you must, that's a part of the plan
The next thing I know, I'm all worried and weak
