Plan to be Surprised

We always end up watching whatever movies we get for Christmas day. It is a fun tradition, and today we watched "Dan in Real Life." It is my mom's favorite movie and my sisters got it for her. At the end Dan says, "Instead of telling our young people to plan ahead, we should tell them to plan to be surprised." I just loved that. Life is surprise. We can never plan it and if we do...it never turns out the way we planned it.  Here are the lyrics to the last song played in the movie...I do love these lyrics. I feel its about trying to make plans, but realizing its better to just go with the flow and seeing what life brings you, because we can never know the future...and its probably better then we could ever plan.


The moment has come to face the truth
I'm wide awake, and so are you
Do you have a clue what this is? (I don't know)
Are you everything that I miss? (I don't hope so)
We'll just have to wait and see (Wait, and see)
If things go right we're meant to be

The surface is gone, we scratched it off
We made some plans, and let them go
Do you have the slightest idea (No, I don't)
Why the world is bright with you here? (Oh, is that so?)
Stay a while and wait and see (wait, and see)
If things go right we're meant to be


Oh, what a world this life would be
Forget all your technicolour dreams
Forget modern nature
This is how it´s meant to be

The time is here for being straight
It´s not too early and never too late
People say I should watch my pace (What do they know?)
"Think how you spend all your days" (They all say so)
They´ll just have to wait and see (Wait, and see)
If things go right they´ll have to agree

Oh, what a world this life would be
Forget all your technicolour dreams
Forget modern nature
This is how it´s meant to be


Do you have the slightest idea (No, I don't)
Why the world is bright with you here? (Oh, is that so?)
Stay a while and wait and see (wait, and see)

Oh, what a world this life would be
Forget all your technicolour dreams
Forget modern nature
This is how it´s meant to be

Forget modern nature
This is how it´s meant to be
