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?¦
