No Wrong Way to Do Right

There's no wrong way to do right

I know that sometimes we look at our lives

And think that there's no end to our pain in sight

And I know there are so many questions

So many regrets that keep us up at night

But you have to give it a rest and get some rest

Because there's more to you than meets the eye

There's more in store for you than what you just want to take

And if you could just see past your mistakes

You would understand that your life is like a lake

Fresh, clear blue and every decision you make is like the rock you skipped artfully across the surface

That you knew would eventually sink to the bottom

And you can never retrieve it

It's just too far down

If you try to get it back, you will surely drown

Anyone that sees it will perceive you as regretfully insane

You haven't yet figured out that every choice you make is necessary

And I know it might seem scary to think about the outcome

But once you toss that stone, all you're left with is your reflection

Even if it looks like you might have taken the wrong direction

And you feel like you've done nothing but create stress

And you're sitting there feeling like less of a person

And this may come as a shock to you

But you are no worse than the person you were the day before

The only way to be sure is to stop looking back and start looking forward

Start looking toward what you're reaching for

Wear your experiences like a bulletproof vest

The rest will fall into place

You might see that the answers have been staring you right in the face

Move at your own pace

As long as you understand that everything that you do is necessary

And though it might seem scary

At some point, your inhibitions will melt away like superstition with every carefully thought out decision

When that happens, right there is when you'll see light

Right there is where you'll know

There's no wrong way to do right
