A lady knew she had the right-of-way
She’s dead now, but at least she was right
A man knew the whole world couldn’t be trusted
He died alone, but at least he was right
A couple divorced due to irreconcilable differences
Neither can love again, but at least they were right
A man knew he would die if he ever took a risk
His life was empty, but at least he was right
A woman knew she was stuck in a dead-end job
Miserable she was, but at least she was right
The Europeans knew the world was flat
Never discovering America, but at least they were right
An old man thought investing was too risky
He died with no money, but at least he was right
A young man knew his dreams were unattainable
He lived with regret, but at least he was right
I’m thankful I don’t know as much as the masses
And that I have been mistaken most of the time
For if I know everything, I can’t know any more
If I’m always right, I can’t learn anything new
Why would I ever use my own life
To prove I am right, when I just might be wrong?
