My mom used to tell me
Everything is a plan
guided by love
and a lovin’ hand

and I never believed her
fought everything she said
but now that i’m closer
her words ring in my head

there’s some sadness
some things broken
some never to mend
but i believe life
is worth livin’
change just ’round the bend

so i’m grateful for the pain
i feel in my soul
it’s there remindin’ me
one day i’ll be whole
