By David Spence
I've made mistakes Too many to mention I've earned my shame But it was never my intention To hurt anyone Sometimes I want to run From the things I've said and done
But I'd like to think I've given something back I've always tried To keep myself on track And if I stray too far I'll find a bar And raise a glass to my yesterdays
For I've been fighting all these years Shedding tears and discarding fears To find the hand of forgiveness That will clutch me from this wilderness Where I question my own self-worth Have I done enough, to deserve the love? That people give to me So willingly and readily
I've made mistakes And some have had a cost And when I think of The things that I have lost I tell myself, there's no-one else Accountable but me
I've taken chances I've sometimes gone in blind I've lost romances But they were wonderful to find And as I sip my wine Reflecting on my time I know the honour has been mine
For I've been fighting all these years Shedding tears and discarding fears To find the hand of forgiveness That will clutch me from this wilderness Where I question my own self-worth Have I done enough, to deserve the love? That people give to me So willingly and readily
Yes I've made mistakes But mistakes have brought me here Just to be with you Evaporates my fear And when I look ahead I no longer dread The days that are to come
For you don't realise That your little gifts of love They have saved me And I can't thank you enough And I embrace each heart That's chosen to impart The beauty held inside
For I've been fighting all these years Shedding tears and discarding fears To find the hand of forgiveness That will clutch me from this wilderness Where I question my own self-worth Have I done enough, to deserve the love? That people give to me So willingly and readily
So beautifully and wonderfully I've made mistakes
