Gods Plan
I've been many places since the day that I was born
Seen lots of things I just don't understand
Like why a man named Oswald did the things he did
And why they didn't finish things in Vietnam
Why Martin Luther Kings no longer with us
Just because the color of his skin
And Elvis Presley too, passed on at forty two
Wish I could hear him sing "My Way" again
And now the say that prayer's' no longer welcome in our schools
They cast the Lord outside and closed the door
But let me tell you friend, he walked back in again
And I hope those kids are praying even more
Then Nine Eleven came to this great nation
And we saw things we couldn't comprehend
Now they have a fight, we will make all their wrongs right
And this great nation will be standing in the end
I pledge allegiance to the flag, one nation under God
That's one more right they want to take away
But we have the right to choose, and without that right we lose
And I choose to wave "Old Glory" everyday
If you believe that we are not one nation under God
There is one thing you better understand
That everything you see including you and me
Are all part of the thing we call God's plan
