Not Scared to be Wrong Things usually turn out right if you’re not scared to be wrong, forget the facts of life or the tried and trusted song. The way that others take, or the way that’s ‘meant’ for me, is really only ‘show’, to prove what I ‘should’ be. My heart is in my mind, there’s naught that I can’t do if only I’ve the will to stay and see it through. Life’s full of bad mistakes and most of them are mine, but doing what ‘I’ do, things normally turn out fine. So be true to your soul, don’t go the way you ’must’, just follow where ‘you’ feel the path is true and just. Yes… folk ‘will’ bar your way and prove that you are wrong, but learn to dodge and sway, for ‘gentleness’ is strong. The ‘measure of a man’ is not in Pounds and Pence nor even in the height he’s reached upon the fence. The ‘measure of a man’ is not his weight in gold, but in the fruits he bore and the messages he sold. Be scared to make mistakes and fear what others see, and soon you’ll realize it’s a long way down the tree. But set your roots in ground buried deep within your heart and from ‘your’ path in life you never will depart. For following your path you write your own true song. accept you’ll miss some notes and may just get it wrong. Things usually turn out right, if you’re not scared to be wrong, but even if they don’t… it’s you who wrote the song! Ivor G Davies The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last. |
