Band: Caedmon's Call
Album: 40 Acres
Danny and I
Spent anther late night over pancakes
Talkin' 'bout soccer
And how every man's just the same.
We made speculation
On the who's and the when's of our futures
And how everyone's lonely
But still we just couldn't complain.
And how we just hate being alone.
Could I have missed my only chance,
And now I'm just wasting my time
By lookin' around
But ya know I know better,
I'm not gonna worry 'bout nothin'.
Cause if the birds and the flowers survive,
Then I'll make it okay.
I'm given a chance and a rock;
see which one breaks a window.
See which one keeps me up all night and into the day.
Because I'm so scared of being alone
That I forget what house i live in.
But it's not my job to wait by the phone
For her to call.
Well this day's been crazy
But everything's happened on schedule,
from the rain and the cold
To the drink that I spilled on my shirt.
'Cause You knew how You'd save me
before I fell dead in the garden,
And You knew this day
long before You made me out of dirt.
And You know the plans that You have for me
And You can't plan the end and not plan the means
And so I suppose I just need some peace,
Just to get me to sleep

the great thing about the waiting is that i'm still discovering great stuff from their old cd's that i never paid much attention to before. i wish they were still putting stuff out :(
you know how much I love Caedmon's... but do you know that this may very well be my most favorite song ever? it was certainly one of the most influential. The line that says "you can't plan the ends and not plan the means"... yeah, more impactful than many other things I can think of. Yeah for my favorite calvinists!
