FAIL FORWARD
(c) 2002 by Steven Kalas

And so your life went sprawling.Everybody saw
You win the prize for “Not So Bright.” Maybe broke the law
You couldn’t keep your promise.
Betrayed what you believed
You have aced the college course in fallibility

So fail forward. You won’t break
Fail forward. Crash and burn ‘til it aches
Fail forward As many times as it takes
Always try to make some new mistakes

The crowd was screaming adoration. You dropped the ball
You chose your mate unwisely. That lawyer’s got some gall
The curtain raised on your big scene. You forgot your lines
You tell the friendly officer you didn’t see the sign

So fail forward. You won’t break
Fail forward. Crash and burn ‘til it aches
Fail forward As many times as it takes
Always try to make some new mistakes

You say you’re feeling naked. Well Baby join the crowd
Everybody’s naked. Everybody’s proud
Clothes are just good manners, a shelter from the cold
Don’t let shame distract you from the treasure that you hold

Just fail forward
You won’t break

So you’re a failure. At least you’re not insane
Crazy is returning to the things that caused you pain
You’re the only one surprised to find you’re human too
But if you’re gonna screw things up, the least that you could do…

So fail forward. You won’t break
Fail forward. Crash and burn ‘til it aches
Fail forward As many times as it takes
Always try to make some new mistakes

Do something wrong different
