lyrics

Many times I've been told there are lessons to be learning
All the lessons that I've learned mostly came from my mistakes
And the mistakes flow like water running swiftly down a river
As that river flowed down to the sea it filled my life with lakes

CHORUS
Lakes of wisdom, lakes of learning
There are many kinds of lakes
Some are shallow, some are deep
There's been lakes of tears
Shed down the years
For the friendships made and lost
And those lessons learned though losses
Are in the memories that I keep

There's been glories, there's been passions in this life I've come to know
And with those glories and those passions, tales of woe
The good comes to the surface, washes up upon the lakeshore
While the hurt gets washed away by my life's riverflow

CHORUS

Mid 8
There are islands on those lakes
Full of friendships that I've made
Down the years through the good times and the bad
Sometimes the waters they were rough
But those friendships toughened up
And they became the best of good times that we had

Now I look across the table at my friends sat there before me
And beside of me are many, many more
It took us years to appreciate the gift we all were given
Sometimes we may be shipwrecked but we wash up on life's shore

CHORUS
