In the wake, who is to say
Mistakes we've made along the way
Aren't just life lessons on display
If we would only treat them that way

Who is to show, what we know
About them only helps us grow
It seems to be a needed hope
In these days of do's and don'ts

I'm afraid we've lost our way
In the wake of all the blame
Not a one of us could name
A single one of us are the same

Learn to accept the differences
In what we have more or less
Adds a level we might have missed
If we had not taken the chance

On mistakes along the way
In the wake of what we say
Life lessons in the make
Plainly here on display
