Mistakes I Made
The mistakes I made when I was young.
I still make yet today
Though they may not be quite the same
I’m still trying to find my way
Lost upon these dusty roads
Through so many twists and bends
I know somewhere up ahead
This road surely ends
If I am not ready
If it catches my surprise
No one ever told me
What was over that next rise
For surely there is no road map
To show which turns to take
And directions are not something
You can find a way to fake
At each intersection
You must choose which way to go
And there isn’t really any way
That you can really know
So you must plod along this path
That no one ever knows
So you can finally find it’s end
And see just where it goes.
