Nothing to Do With My Master's Plan

Straight and narrow.
And on a path paved...
Without a sign of an obstacle?
Few I've come to know...
Have traveled those roads.

With no difficulties at all to face?
Perhaps some wish,
Their lives had this pace.

But there is an advantage,
Of those twists and turns.
So much is learned from the adventure.

If I had my druthers to live another life...
I know those experiences,
Would be choices I would like.
And I know I would choose,
To refuse sorrow and pain.

With no difficulties at all to face?
Perhaps some wish,
Their lives had this pace.

But there is an advantage,
Of those twists and turns.
So much is learned from the adventure.
So much is there to gain.
And happy I am,
I had nothing to do with my Master's plan.
