Sweet Mistakes - Ellis Paul

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 

Chorus: 
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. 

Chorus 

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 need, yeah. 

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. 

Chorus 

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.
