In life we all make mistakes,
Don’t carry them around,
Don’t carry them around with you.
Each one you make place them,
Place them under your feet
And then you can use them,
Use them as stepping stones,
So you can rise above them
And move into that place,
That better place,
That better place you deserve
By using those mistakes,
Using them as experience
Because experience cannot be taught
It can only be learned,
Learned by your experience,
Your experience in life.
