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 till your lips are scorched Till the rain comes down on you Bless your sweet mistakes, That crumbled you down to your knees. That brought you to this place Changing you by degreesâ?¦ When change was just what you neededâ?¦ So if you live your life in a three piece suit, In a cocktail dress, or combat boots You pick your path, you walk your truth And the world will come round to you. It's a long 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. Bless your sweet mistakes, That crumbled you down to your knees. That brought you to this place Changing you by degreesâ?¦ When change was just what you neededâ?¦ What you neededâ?¦ And in this wild blue world There is a soul weavin' fine feelin' girl You've got to walk in paradise to find a pearl If you only believe, You'll get what you needâ?¦ What you neededâ?¦ 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. Bless your sweet mistakes, That crumbled you down to your knees. That brought you to this place Changing you by degreesâ?¦ When change was just what you neededâ?¦ What you neededâ?¦
