Life Has Other Plans

Why was I in such a hurry to be where I am now

Thought my life would be figured out 

But life had other plans

Why did I spend endless nights

Planning my life

When life had other plans

Why was I in such a hurry to be where I am now

I should have been breathing in moments like air

If I had known that my grandma wouldn't remember me now

Would I have sat five minutes longer with her on the porch

Watching the cars go by

If I had known the pain I would feel at 25

Would I have enjoyed each little moment

Like it was my last

Why was I in such a hurry to be where I am now

Cause I'm still figuring things out

Life has plans I don't know about yet
