Being a commuter (for 11 years now) and typically a very busy girl, I obviously spend lots of time in the car. Most mornings I thoroughly enjoy my commute. Don't get me wrong, I have never been one to hop right out of bed when the alarm goes off and begin whistling a merry tune. I usually hit the snooze button at least two or three times. However, as soon as I actally get up, I enjoy the quietness of the morning. But as soon as I get in the car, it's MUSIC time!!! No matter what it is - the radio, a cd, or my ipod - it's LOUD! Music is a HUGE part of my life. God speaks volumes to me through music (no pun inteded).
I absolutely love to sing in the car! It's a rare thing for me to turn the music off. I only do it occasionally - if I have some big thinking to do. And there have been difficult and painful seasons in my life when I couldn't sing. Times when all I could do was let the music heal me. I've spent my share of mornings in the car shedding tears. Tears of heartache and pain. Tears of brokeness for myself and for others. But luckily, those are only seasons, and God always leads us out of the darkness into His wonderful light!
Recently, I've come across a new song by Manafest called "No Plan 'B'" - from his latest album, "Chase". I still haven't discoverd exactly what it is about this song that I like so much. It's one of those songs that I just can't turn up loud enough! I like the lyrics, the beat, the hook. Everything! I found the "official" video on YouTube; however, I actually like the radio mix better, but was unable to find it. Check it out and let me know what you think...
Not only do I thoroughly enjoy the "sound" of the song, but also the lyrics remind me that God has a purpose for me - a 'Plan A'. It doesn't matter how many times I screw up, I never lose His purposes for my life! I have a destiny, and I've got to stick to the plan! There is no 'Plan B'!

Verse:
I drop in with my face to the wind
Spin 180 for the win
But I can't find my feet it's like I lost the beat
Mid air and there's no plan B's
Hit the streets,
Look before I leap again,
Skeleton filled with Adrenalin
How can I know that I got what it takes?
When I've come so far, through the rain
Bear the pain
Makes no difference now
Face myself or get taken out
One more time got to live this loud
Back to the wall no turning around)
CHORUS:
It's too late It's my fate
I can't turn around
There's no fear, in the mirror
To hold me down
I'm too far, from the start
Now I'm in too deep
I've got to stick to the plan
Cause there's "no Plan B"
No turning back (No plan B)
There's no other path, (No plan B)
And I know that this road is my destiny
I've got to stick to the plan
Cause there's no plan B
Bridge:
All I know is I can't turn back, all I know is I can't turn back
Got to leave it in the past, got to leave it in the past.
All I know is I can't turn back, all I know is I can't turn back
Got to leave it in the past, got to leave it in the past.
Cause this is the only road I've ever known,
there's no way that I could start again, Again
Chorus Repeats
