No Mistakes



Be yourself out in the world
Shame not for goofing
Laughing, playing, mindless aloofing
Because in solitude, God will speak
And relay the secret of his mystique

You haven't got to worry about a bigger picture
The lord will give you glimpses
You haven't got to open eyes wide to see inside
The lord will grant you visions
You haven't got to keep moving in the name of wisdom
To receive it
You only have to keep moving for your human sanity
And be patient
The rules are clear but they will be muffled again
You'll see
You'll be blind yet alive and breathing for something
Just believe
The lord returns with gifts that he's gathered
Such grace
The lord returns with a meaning for the madness
No mistakes
