Yes, They Have a Plan

Yes, They Have a Plan 

Jeff Luhnow's a brilliant man
We trust in his awesome plan
We watch him and every day
He reveals the Astros Way

Refrain:
Yes, they have a plan
And we love their plan
Oh, it's a great plan
Jeff Luhnow tells me so

Luhnow's eyes can see, it's true,
Far more than most mortals do
We will never understand
All the wonders of His Plan

REFRAIN 

When will Luhnow and His Plan
Lead us to the Promised Land?
Soon and very soon we say
It's nearer now than yesterday.

REFRAIN
