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 couldnt keep your promise.
Betrayed what you believed
You have aced the college course in fallibility

So fail forward. You wont 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 lawyers got some gall
The curtain raised on your big scene. You forgot your lines
You tell the friendly officer you didnt see the sign

So fail forward. You wont 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 youre feeling naked. Well Baby join the crowd
Everybodys naked. Everybodys proud
Clothes are just good manners, a shelter from the cold
Dont let shame distract you from the treasure that you hold

Just fail forward
You wont break

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

So fail forward. You wont 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
