Story behind the song
My grandson, at four years old, tried to get an ant to go where he wanted it too. His uncle pointed out that you can't tell an ant where to go. He gave me that line and voila!
Lyrics
According To Plan [07/29/2017] Oh! You! Can't tell an ant where to go. Can't tell a snail that it's slow. Can't keep a bee from its hive. Go on I dare you to try. Oh! You! Can't tell a fly not to buzz. You just can't tell it because. Each lives according to a plan. They're them like you and I am. Oh! You! Can't tell a bird not to fly. I did but they keep flying by. You can't tell a bird not to swim or walk, or run to the gym. Oh! You! Can't tell a bird not to sing. It's only doing its thing. Even if you don't like their song. Like us, we all belong. Oh! You! Can't tell a fish it can't swim. There's no other place to begin. You can't teach one to breathe air. Not unless evolution is there. Oh! You! Can't expect a fish to fly, well, not way up to the sky. If you're a fish you gotta swim 'round and back and forth again. Oh! You! Can't tell a baby not to cry even if there's no reason why. Can't tell toddler not to crawl or save it from furniture and the walls. Oh! You! Can't tell a kid where to go speed them up when you think they're too slow. Like the rest, they'll do what they can. All according to plan. Copyright © 2017 by Douglas Murphy.
