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

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
