Jace Everett - Pretty Good Plan lyrics

When the sun came up and the world was new There was not a thing that we could not do With hearts on fire and flowers in our hair And we sang our songs and we clapped our hands And the lame would walk and the weak would stand Singing, "my sweet lord, i'll meet you in the air" Yours was mine and mine was yours Love would open every door But something changed Can you help me understand I though it was a pretty good plan Well you picked your spot on the highest hill And you raised your cup and you drank my fill Looking down on where we used to stand So we gathered round there beneath your feet And you built a tomb where we all could meet But did someone set their rock on sinking sand There was laws and there was rules Some for kings and more for fools We all tried to understand your pretty good plan I gave mine and you took yours Hid behind your golden doors It all gets strange when the money's changing hands Thought it was a pretty good plan Our good intentions may pave the road ahead Why do we always find our hearts are Somewhere else instead Was laws and there was rules Some for kings and more for fools We all tried to understand this pretty good plan I gave mine and you took yours Hid behind your golden doors It all gets strange when the money's changing hands What happened to the pretty good plan
