The Plan I Didn’t Know I Had

[Verse 1]
I was stumbling through life with no direction,
No particular plan, no real connection.
Thought I’d missed out on all life had to give,
Made my peace with the life I’d live.
Nights alone, long roads and empty skies,
Just quiet radio and a heart full of sighs.
I thought I’d learned to stand on my own,
Till you appeared, now I’m not alone.

[Verse 2]
Then suddenly, there you were,
Like a spark I didn’t see occur.
Life turned on a dime, the world rearranged,
Everything familiar now feels strange.
Your laugh lit up the dark of my doubt,
Every word you said knocked the walls out.
I was wandering blind, but now I see,
The future I’d been missing was waiting for me.

[Chorus 1]
There you were, the plan I didn’t know I had,
Turning my empty streets into roads I’m glad.
From a man with no plan, to a future so bright,
You came and filled my darkness with light.

[Verse 3]
I went from drifting, to steady and true,
From thinking life’s best was already through.
Your hand in mine, a map in my palm,
A storm of love that feels so calm.
I never knew I needed a spark,
But you lit a fire and healed the dark.
Every day feels like a brand-new start,
A life that’s written straight from the heart.

[Chorus 2]
There you were, the plan I didn’t know I had,
Turning my empty streets into roads I’m glad.
From a man with no plan, to a future so bright,
You came and filled my darkness with light.

[Bridge]
Funny how life’s twists and turns show up slow,
I never knew what I needed to know.
But in your eyes, I finally see,
The life I was meant for was always meant to be.

[Chorus 3 / Final]
There you were, the plan I didn’t know I had,
Turning my empty streets into roads I’m glad.
From a man with no plan, to a future so bright,
You came and filled my darkness with light.

[Outro]
There you were…
The plan I didn’t know I had.
