Made Out of Old Mistakes

Pry all the nails out and hammer them straight —
One or two break, but the rest we can save.
This whole thing is made out of old mistakes.

Rotted old planks and salvaged wood
propped it up, braced it, but it all came loose.
This whole thing is made out of old mistakes.

Build the best one you can now
with what scraps you’ve got lying around

Sometimes you’ve gotta take the old one apart:
Clear off the workbench and make a new start
This whole thing is made out of old mistakes
