Great song. R.I.P. Dan.

Lyrics:

I have these moments

All steady and strong

I'm feeling so holy and humble

The next thing I know

I'm all worried and weak

And I feel myself

Starting to crumble.

The meanings get lost

And the teachings get tossed

And you don't know what you're

Going to do next.

You wait for the sun

But it never quite comes

Some kind of message comes

Through to you.

Some kind of message comes through.

And it says to you...

Chorus

Love when you can

Cry when you have to...

Be who you must

That's a part of the plan

Await your arrival

With simple survival

And one day we'll all understand...

I had a woman

Who gave me her soul

But I wasn't ready to

Take it.

Her heart was so fragile

And heavy to hold

And I was afraid I might

Break it.

Your conscience awakes

And you see your mistakes

And you wish someone

Would buy your confessions.

The days miss their mark

And the night gets so dark

And some kind of message

Comes through to you

Some kind of message

Shoots through --

Chorus

There is no Eden or

Heavenly gates

That you're gonna make it to

One day

But all of the answers you seek

Can be found

In the dreams that you dream

On the way.

That boy wrote deep insightful beautiful music! A Poets soul with a heart centered pen. Miss him still, the peace of his guidance wrapped in song...

1974. Carried this one on from high school on into the radio days; a good song to keep one grounded. Holds up well 40 years on. Joe Walsh produced and played slide on this one. Another reason Dan is on the short list of favorite male singers. Rest well.

Amongst the treasured verses contained within this song, a single phrase is repeated more than any other: One day, we'll all understand ... There is a profound and reassuring significance in that assertion.

This Dan Fogelberg song … I always thought it was "Monday we're long on nerve span" — but then one day I understood.

Robin Williams made me think of this great song from Fogelberg.

If I could tattoo the chorus of this song onto my 14 year old son, I'd be very happy. It's probably the best parenting lesson one can teach. He's suffering through the sewer that is 9th grade now, and he's gay, and my god does he get bullied. He just has to make it through.Update: he finished 9th grade with honors!! And he took part in Forensics, Debate, and Sigma club. What a kid... I couldn't be prouder!

The words of this song are soooo true. Believe that every thing happens for a reason. We don't know the reason but it was planned!!

Wow!!! When I entered "Part of the Plan" in the search box and was waiting for the song to pop up, I said to myself "I sure do miss Dan Fogelberg" - the same thing Joe posted below!!!!

Dan Fogelberg-a poet who could sing the words he put to music. I have every one of his albums (vinyl and cd's) and listen to them all the time.

I should add the "Love Gone By" and "Once Upon a Time" are also really phenomenal songs.
