Only Now
(L. Wilson)

I had a plan, so well perfected
It couldn’t fail, it seemed to me
I had rehearsed every last detail
of how my life was meant to be
But the earth, it swallowed all the outcomes
that I had foreseen
And the ocean rose all around me
and it washed all the maps clean

[chorus:]
And it seems there’s always something bigger
waiting behind that door
And it doesn’t matter how you plan the future
It’s only now we’re living for

My bags were packed with all provisions
that I might need on the road
The time was right
I made reservations for every place that I might go
But the weather changed without a warning
and the light of day disappeared
And all I’d taken for granted
was suddenly just faded and weird

[chorus]

So I will thank God for all the bad weather
and so-called disasters
that have led me to you
I will stand tall but I will surrender
‘Cause I know it’s better
when I don’t know what to do

[chorus]

Tuve un plan, y tan perfecto
Que no podria fallar, o asi pense
