Best Laid Plans

My mama told me many years ago
There ain't a thing in life that hard work cannot earn
I've carried it with me everywhere I've gone
Living words of wisdom and the lessons that I've learned
To have a heart that's made to face the fears in an ever-changing world

Cause dreams die hard when you know that you can't win
And dreams die hard when they're you're only friend
Like the best laid plans of mice and men
They get scattered to the wind

Oh how your friends will come and go
You'll spend a lifetime finding those who make you whole
I've built up walls around my heart
Heartbreaks and changes always seem to take their toll
So many times I'm forced to fight back tears
I just have to let them fall

Cause dreams die hard when you know that you can't win
And dreams die hard when they're you're only friend
Like the best laid plans of mice and men
They get scattered to the wind

I've made up my mind
Letting the path unwind
I don't know where, but I know it's true that I must follow no matter where it goes
The man that I must be has gone and set me free
Until now, I've only reached the shore to feel the sand vanish in my hand

Cause dreams die hard when you know that you can't win
And dreams die hard when they're you're only friend
Like the best laid plans of mice and men
They get scattered to the wind
