Learn & Live

You hear the phrase "Live and Learn" all the time. We make a mistake, a wrong turn, a bad choice, and inevitably someone says, "live and learn...live and learn". So I got to thinking, what would happen if we tried to LEARN first and then live? Would our choices be different?
Some people say ya gotta live and learn
but how many times have I gotten burned from the choices that I made
when I thought I knew the way? But I was wrong. Yeah, I was wrong.
Some people say ya gotta learn from your mistakes
Oh, but that's a price I don't want to pay...if I'd only stop
And hear what you say, then I won't be wrong.
Chorus:
So much pain could be avoided, so much heartache so much grief
If we'd only have the strength to live what we believe
And if I'd listen to Your words and the wisdom that You give
Then I won't have to live and learn, I just gotta learn & live.
Now I don't claim that I won't ever make mistakes
And I don't possess all the answers that it takes
But I know the One who does, and I know He knows my name
And He calls me child.
