Plan B

You're running blindly
and you can't look back
Don't know what you're facing
Tell me what are you chasing?

Your world's a circle
but it's not quite round
You're stuck in a corner
lost in what you've found

Where do you stand when
Plan A slips out of your hands

If only this.... you say
If only.... that
It's you you're deceiving
It's only you you're believing

So when in fact
the only thing falls through
You come to a standstill
What else can you do?

Where do you stand when
Plan A slips out of your hand?

Look for a new day
Reach out and begin it
Get out of your way
You're all that is in it
What price will you pay?
This time you can win it
Learn how to replay
Plan D Plan C Plan B
for a minute

Good advice (to oneself and others). shalom, shalom! QUESTION: If we have as many as 4 plans, A B C D, are we spreading ourselves too thin?
