Best laid plans fail And wrong winds catch sails But that don't mean you lay down And lose your boat to the treacherous sea. No, you must believe: That which might have been, can yet still be. I've seen a beautiful sky turn gray As I stood by watching weather change But that don't mean the Sun is long-gone And all of our Hope should leave. No, you must believe: That which might have been, can yet still be. The greatest place ever known fell down. It was the Fall of Rome– But I've seen the Vatican and Coliseum Under a summer's gleam (And it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen) So, I'm telling you, That which might have been, can yet still be. Those best laid plans fail And those wrong winds catch sails But that don't mean you lay down And lose your boat to the treacherous sea. No, you must believe: That which might have been, can yet still be.
