I've Got a Plan

December 30, 2019

(Told from the perspective of Cohort from Girl in Red)

If your friends are like mine Which can be a hassle at times When everyone asks “what do we do?” They're all going to look at you If you're like me, you'll think of something Though at first, I felt like such a dumb thing Now when they say we can't, I say we can Because I've got a plan

I grew up in the shadow of five brothers Like that, it's hard to get the attention of others You've got to work harder Or maybe just smarter I'd say don't take stupid risks But I've taken at least six Don't stick your head in the sand Instead, come up with a plan

We've found ourselves outnumbered But I've always remembered We've probably faced worse We'll dodge every spell and curse It doesn't matter how many enemies there are We get out with neither scratch nor scar Against impossible odds, but still they ran Because I had a plan

Sometimes, complications arise I'm not really what you'd call wise I can think at least eight moves ahead But things don't always play out like they do in my head I'm not saying all our problems are my fault I'm not the one that ticked off an evil cult But I'll never throw my friends under the tram I'll get them out with another plan

I've said things that made sense at first But then only made things worse Even then, I've always had someone by my side Although I don't always want to be the one to decide Where we go next, what we're going to do When I'm stuck, I know who to turn to We'll win, I know we can Because I've got a plan
