Sweet Mistakes

Pop the cork, a champagne glass
Raise to the future, drink to the past
Thank the Lord for the friends he cast
In the play he wrote for you
And if you love the girl man, light up a torch
Blaze a trail to her front porch
Kiss her til your lips are scorched
Til the rain comes down on you
Bless your sweet mistakes
That crumble you down to your knees
That brought you to this place
Changing you by degrees…
When change was just what you needed…
What you needed…
So if you live your life in a three piece suit
In a cocktail dress, or combat boots
You pick your path and you walk your truth
And the world will come round to you
It’s a long strange ride, I can’t tell you why
But there’s a place in your pocket where peace can abide
You pull it out, it’s a compass, a guide
And it will put a little soul on you
And in this wild blue world
There is a soul weavin' fine feelin' girl
But you’ve got to walk in paradise to find a pearl
If you only believe
You’ll get what you need… what you needed…
Conquer your fear and you’ll master the game
Life is always and never the same
Use a little faith to light the flame
And I know you’ll connect to you
Pop the cork, a champagne glass
Raise to the future, drink to the past
Thank the Lord for the friends he cast
In the play he wrote for you
