Don’t Make My Mistake
Son
Don’t make no mistake
There is a right
There is a wrong
All the rules
Cannot be written down
It’s up to you to be balanced
In a world that is not
Something might seem right
You’ll find nothing is completely right
Something might seem wrong
You’ll find that nothing is compeltely wrong
It’s a bit confusing
As a battle wars on
I don’t know how it will end
But you can’t take sides
Because there isn’t one
Best way I canexplain it
You have to love everyone
Son
Don’t make no mistake
There ain’t no bad people here
We were all created equally fair
Nothing you have to fear
You only have to be careful
And know your course to steer
You see, everybody thinks they’re right
And everybody disagrees
Some choose to act bad
Hating themselves
They will probably hate you
Some are confused
Not caring to see
They probably won’t see you
Then there’s those who try
But being guided by a lie
They might offend you
But be very careful not to hurt them
Christ blesses them because they try
and helps them when they cry
You might find yourself alone
There are few who can face reality
in a real way
It’s up to us
To learn why
As we come to know
We learn of the God who built the sky
The Force that makes the storm blow
the Spirit that talks to birds
Telling them where to fly
The Son, who taught the fish to swim
Mother Nature, who keeps it together
Son
Don’t make no mistake
I’ve changed my mind
Over a hundred times
Been blinded over one hundred ways
Till finally I leanred
That truth can only be felt
When you hear words you cannot feel
Such words you cannot fulfill
Sometimes you have to fight
Sometimes you have to negotiate
Don’t do nothing if your feelings aren’t right
You have to fess-up to the fact
You can be wrong
You have to be strong
Standing up when you know you’re right
This is true
You won’t find it in a book
In every decision you make
To know the truth
Is to know what you feel
