The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

And learn that when you do make a mistake, you'll surface that mistake so you can get it corrected, rather than trying to hide it and bury it, and it becomes a much bigger mistake, and maybe a fatal mistake.

Hey old man got something for you
Change your mind gonna make you take it
Your mistake is something you own
Im the one whos gonna take it
Hey old man got something for you
Hey old man got a real good tip
Somethings wrong and you dont know it
When will you learn
Im not your boy
You dont look back
Why do I pick up your slack
Thats just fine just leave it like that
Bust your wallet while I break my back
Save your life with your life support
You know me Ill pick up that
Hey old man got something for you
Hey old man got a real good tip
Somethings wrong and I guess you called it
Thanks alot because now I own it
When will you learn
Im not your boy
You dont look back
Why do I pick up your slack
When will you learn
Im not your boy
You dont look back
Why do I pick up your slack
Will she pay my debts
Got your picture in my hands
God you are so truly old
Thanks alot my future is sold
When will you learn
Im not your boy
When will you learn
Im not your boy
Hey old man got something for you
Hey old man got it real good tip
Hey old man got something for you
Hey old man got it real good tip

Masking yourself
Sasha screamed at me this morning
Grace yelled at me yesterday
Mom barked at me the day before
It was all my fault
My mistake
The mistake
As I knew it would be
Once we are alone
The mistake was not being able to avoid the mistake
Until fate avoided it itself
And what's more to bear
Than the lesson of yesterday
And then today
Life cannot be a charade
If you learn from your mistakes
And mistakes you didn't make
Because you won't need to mask yourself
From your mistakes

Its A Mistake
Jump down the shelters to get away
The boys are cockin up their guns
Tell us general, is it party time?
If it is can we all come
Dont think that we dont know
Dont think that were not trying
Dont think we move too slow
Its no use after crying
Saying
Its a mistake, its a mistake
Its a mistake, its a mistake
After the laughter as died away
And all the boys have had their fun
No surface noise now, not much to say
Theyve got the bad guys on the run
Dont try to say youre sorry
Dont say he drew his gun
Theyve gone and grabbed old ronnie
Hes not the only one saying
Its a mistake, its a mistake
Its a mistake, its a mistake
Tell us commander, what do you think?
cos we know that you love all that power
Is it on then, are we on the brink?
We wish youd all throw in the towel
Well not fade out too soon
Not in this finest hour
Whistle your favourite tune
Well send a card and flower
Saying
Its a mistake, its a mistake
Its a mistake, its a mistake

A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.

Learn
when broken
learn
when happy
learn
when bored
learn
when you float and does not know what to do
learn just the same
when filled with idealism
learn
when fed with what you cannot swallow
learn again
when the times get rough and you want to kill yourself
learn, learn, learn
you still have many things to learn
faces of life
bodies of life
learn, learn, learn everything
do not surrender
for in truth, you do not do what you only want
you will also do what you are told to do
no questions asked
or you will be left out
or you will be not a part of the picture
this life
learn, learn, learn, always learn
do not surrender
live, learn, live, learn
you will soon do all that others will tell you
learn, learn and learn again
and sooner you will have learned everything
and then do what you want to do
with firm conviction
you know now what is right
and that is what you will do,
now without even being told
you have become yourself
but still learn, learn, and learn again
because
you might be wrong,
try thinking some more, learn
relearn, learn, learn, learn, forevermore....

Illiteracy Versus Ignorance
The difference between illiteracy and ignorance is some people make choices that they regret for the rest lives.
And live in a state of denial rather then admitting they made the mistake.
While other accept it as a mistake and learn from it.

We Never Learn
We never learn
We keep being a fool in following rule
We lazily think before with our own head
I should move but I glued on my sofa
I should go but I tarry my feet
I should have rest but I exhaust myself
I should sleep but I still open my eyes
We never learn
We keep repeating the same old mistake
And history is always going into cycle
I should believe but I don't want to listen
I should protect but I only give the pain
I should love but easy is ignorance
I should watch but I don't pay attention
We never learn
We keep our stubborn head
We never look around and just fulfill our desire
I should be strong but I don't find any reason
I should be in control but I lose my rational mind
I should be brave but I'm weak
I should be happy but I'm always lonely
We never learn
We keep forgetting the good and falling back to the root
We drown in the dream, never live in the real
I should be smarter but I deceived again
I shouldn't be allured but I swayed in instance
I should be patient but I can't wait for more
I should be good but nobody's care after all

Backward
Its all backward.
Its all bad word.
Said to me by you.
How you misunderstand.
All, wrapped up,
in yourself.
Fall, who will pick you up
Walking backward,
this is my mistake, my mistake.
This is my mistake, my mistake.
Im sorry dear,
I wish I could,
read your mind.
Its my fault, how I misunderstand.
Now, dont go changing,
trying to please me.
It will never work.
Walking backward.
This is my mistake.
Always backward.
This is my mistake, my mistake.
I can,
feel this, next,
upcoming crisis will be our,
last one.
I swear.
I swear.
Walking backward.
Walking backward.
Walking backward.
This is my mistake

My Mistake
(p. sawyer/g. jones)
My mistake was to love you, girl
Love you, girl
My mistake was to give you all
Tell the world
First i had you
In the palm of my hand
But i let you slip through
Like rain to sand
At the beginning
When i didn't care
Like my own reflection
You were always there
My mistake was to love you, girl
Love you, girl
My mistake was to give you all
Tell the world
You were sweeter
Then my very own skin
But what did i do for you
Not a thing
In front of my friends
You broke me down
Since then darling
It's hard to track you down
My mistake was to love you, boy
Love you, boy
My mistake was to give my all
Tell the world
Many a smile
You put om ny face
But i paid dearly
With the tears i taste
My tenderness
Made you cold, not sweet
'cause if a girl loves you
You only call her weak
My mistake was to love you, boy
Love you, boy
My mistake was to give my all
Tell the world
My mistake was to love you, girl
Love you, girl
My mistake was to give you all
Tell the world

I learn when I teach others
I learn when I listen

I learn from children

I learn how to breathe
I learn how to live

I learn how to be a human being
I'm always learning ...

End Of Our Rope
Don't hold back, don't hold us back
From the people we could be
Cause all your rage is jealousy, it's jealousy
So don't let go, don't let them go
And make you feel like it's your fault
Cause if you do they'll never learn, they'll never learn
You don't have to blow my candle out
To make yours look brighter
So save your breath
We always see other's faults, never our own
Soon we'll be dangling from the end of our rope
So what's it for? What's it all for?
I see the artificial you
But underneath the real truth, the real truth
So don't let go, don't let them go
And make you feel like you're all wrong
Cause if you do they'll never learn, they'll never learn
Take a look around at what we've made
Whether we survive is if we change

If You Ever Make a Mistake
If you make a mistake,
Admit it.
And get it right out of your way.
Don't you ever fake it to escape.
Believing what is done is okay!
If you ever make a mistake,
Just admit it!
And get it out of the way.
Don't you ever fake it to escape...
That mistake someday you'll repay!
There's no need for moaning or groaning,
Over what's been done.
No one lives a perfect life,
Under the Sun!
Alibis are like houseflies.
They begin to annoy.
And habits are like pests when invited...
They are hard to destroy.
Even if you hit 'em with a bat...
They come right back!
If you make a mistake,
Admit it.
And get it right out of your way.
Don't you ever fake it to escape.
Believing what is done is okay!
If you ever make a mistake,
Just admit it!
And get it out of the way.
Don't you ever fake it to escape...
That mistake someday you'll repay!
Strap in that saddle and take that ride.
Admit that mistake made,
And push it aside!
'Okay, okay, okay!
So I made a mistake.
So what's the big deal? '
~Getting you to admit it! ~
If you make a mistake,
Admit it.
And get it right out of your way.
Don't you ever fake it to escape.
Believing what is done is okay!
If you ever make a mistake,
Just admit it!
And get it out of the way.
Don't you ever fake it to escape...
That mistake someday you'll repay!
'Okay, okay, okay!
So I made a mistake.
So what's the big deal? '
~Getting you to admit it!
If you didn't...
That mistake would have others that you make!
And with me,
That's not okay! ~
'Geeessshhh...
Okay!
But please...
Stop the song and dance routine.
I get it! '

Gods Mistake
Have a friend, calls me up
Says hello, then hangs up
He must have read my mind
These are the days of a diffrent paradigm
Maybe once, even twice
He said God does not play dice
Yet if hes everywhere
Hes in casinos with aces to spare
Oh, love is gods mistake
Oh, love is gods mistake
Ours is not to reason why
As we fall from way up high
Into the water
Like a lamb to the slaughter
Even now, gods mistake
Sets us up for one more heartbreak
God you look mighty fine
Dressed as the devil in a cosmic pantomime
Oh, love is gods mistake
Oh, love is gods mistake
Never was so much at stake
Oh, love is gods mistake

Do Not Take A Break
No mistake no mistake
Do not take a break.
Go on go on
Poems a head.
Poet is free
He can fly as he like.
Old people only
To safe their skin
Point out mistake.
New people know
No mistake anywhere
Only new people
Look new thing and
Proceed in new road.

Out From The Deep
(curly m.c.)
.
We came out from the deep
To learn to love, to learn how to live
We came out from the deep
To avoid the mistake we made
Thats why we are here !
.
We came out from the deep
To help and understand, but not to kill
It takes many lives till we succeed
To clear the debts of many hundres years
Thats why we are here !

Praise
I wake each morning
and count my blessing
thankful for what is given
so great and small
with praise for the Great Spirit
I learn to love and live
When those do me wrong
I learn how to forgive
and in my heart forget
with each footstep I take
I learn from each mistake
but refuse to fall
In His praise I sing his song
to every living thing He created
with His touch I've been blessed
and surely awaken

Mistake (acoustic)
As I sift and drift through bullshit,
That plagues from day to day,
Would you ever really notice I've gone away?
CHORUS
I'm over the wall,
Over the hill,
Over at your place,
I'm over the safetys,
Over the phone calls,
Over the rage,
What a mistake.
When you've lost the stones to throw,
The ones I found to make a fire,
And all the lonely souls that say so get fired.
CHORUS
What a mistake,
What a mistake,
What a mistake,
What a mistake,
I've never been lost,
I've never been found,
And it make no difference, if I'm around,
There's never been words, there's never been actions
I've never been promises that i've never kept.
