Nicely Planned Out

Looking at the universe
He had a great idea
Let’s get some life down there on Earth
A flower and a bee
It looked so beautiful
So he thought
Let’s make some humans / and see what they will do
And then he looked down

And he thought he had it nicely planned out
Until he realized that something wasn’t so good
But it was much too late to set it right
So he said he was misunderstood
The whole thing was quite complicated
And he was all alone
A million years of calculations
and in the end it all went wrong

Looking at my life, I feel some things are kinda strange
But I am sure about one thing
there’s nothing I would change
What will the future bring?
I don’t know
So I just have to wait
And see what I can do
‘Cause when I look back

We all hope we have it nicely planed out
But we don’t realize that we are fooling around
But there is always time to set things right
And get back with our feet on the ground
‘Cause life is not that complicated
When you are not alone
And even if the world is changing
How can it possibly go wrong?
