Failure



Waiting for the time to come
When hard work really pays off
When failure isn't frowned upon
But simply shrugged off

Failure isn't all that bad
You see - You learn from your mistakes
Pick yourself up
And dust yourself off
That's really all it takes

It's the only way to learn
To know what to do next
You just need to stay strong
It really isn't that complex

Failure isn't all that bad
You see - You learn from your mistakes
Pick yourself up
And dust yourself off
That's really all it takes
