Whispering Mistakes

[Verse 1] I walked a road paved with my pride, Blind to the truth, had nowhere to hide. Mistakes whispered through the cracks, Took me years to hear their tracks. [Chorus] But time, it teaches gently, And mistakes, they speak intently. It's a long, long road to wisdom's gate, Learning from the past, however late. [Verse 2] I've stumbled on stones of my own making, Felt the ground beneath me shaking. Regrets, they hung heavy like the night, Took a while to set them right. [Chorus] But time, it teaches gently, And mistakes, they speak intently. It's a long, long road to wisdom's gate, Learning from the past, however late. [Verse 3] Now I see the signs, once concealed, In every fall, my fate is sealed. Lessons learned in the echoes of time, Turned my wrongs into a rhyme. [Chorus] For time, it teaches gently, And life, it bends so intently. It's a long, long road to wisdom's gate, Embracing every twist of fate. [Bridge] In the quiet hours, shadows unfold, I trace the scars, stories untold. The bridge between then and now, Where forgiveness blooms, somehow. [Chorus] Time, it teaches gently, And mistakes, they speak intently. It's a long, long road to wisdom's gate, Learning from the past, however late. [End]
