LYRIC SAMPLE: "THINGS ARE NOT AS THEY WERE PLANNED"

LITTLE GIRL, WHO JUST CAME OUT TO PLAY.
IS NOW IN OLDER DAYS,
THINGS ARE NOT AS THEY WERE PLANNED.

THIS WORLD, IS NOT AS IT SHOULD BE,
IT’S NOT FOR YOU AND ME,
AND WHAT WE HOPED THAT IT SHOULD BE.

(Refrain)
NOW IT’S… TIME TO COME HOME,
BUT KNOW YOU’RE NOT ALONE,
FOR I AM RIGHT HERE.

(V. 2)
THE WORLD, DID NOT GO AS WAS PLANNED,
SOMETIMES WE DON’T UNDERSTAND,
HOW THINGS GO THE WAY THEY ARE.

HOPES, ARE SPLATTERED TO THE GROUND,
WE LOOK… ALL AROUND,
AND HOPE NO ONE SEES WHAT WE’VE BECOME.

(Refrain)
BUT STILL, THOUGH I AM HERE,
AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
FOR WHO YOU ARE.

(Bridge)
AND IT’S SO EASY TO SEE,
THAT SOME THINGS WERE,
NEVER MEANT TO, BE.

(V. 3)
AS WE WALK THROUGH OUR LIVES,
AND THEN WE FIND A WIFE,
AND MOTHERS SMILE AS THEIR LIVES DRIFT AWAY.

THINKING, "I WISH THEY COULD TURN BACK YEARS,
AND DONE SOMETHING DIFFERENT HERE,"
BUT THINGS DON’T ALWAYS GO AS THEY WERE PLANNED....
