Pop the cork, a champagne glass

Raise to the future, drink to the past

Thank the Lord for the friends he cast,

In the play he wrote for you.



And if you love the girl man, light up a torch

Blaze a trail to her front porch

Kiss her til your lips are scorched

Til the rain comes down on you



Chorus

Bless your sweet mistakes,

That crumble you down to your knees.

That brought you to this place

Changing you by degrees...

When change was just what you needed...

What you needed...



So if you live your life in a three piece suit,

In a cocktail dress, or combat boots

You pick your path and you walk your truth

And the world will come round to you.



It's a long strange ride, I can't tell you why

But there's a place in your pocket where peace can abide

You pull it out, it's a compass, a guide

And it will put a little soul on you.



Chorus



And in this wild blue world

There is a soul weavin' fine feelin' girl

But you've got to walk in paradise to find a pearl

If you only believe,

You'll get what you need... what you needed...



Conquer your fear and you'll master the game,

Life is always and never the same.

Use a little faith to light the flame ,

And I know you'll connect to you.



Chorus



Pop the cork, a champagne glass

Raise to the future, drink to the past

Thank the Lord for the friends he cast,

In the play he wrote for you
