Lyrics
Fail Until They Succeed
[Verse]
The first step's a stumble, the second's a slide,
Every path worth taking's got no place to hide.
The stars may laugh, the moon may frown,
But a winner's smile turns up from down.
[Chorus]
Losers quit when they fail, oh yes indeed,
Winners fail until they succeed.
Through every twist, through every turn,
The fire grows brighter the more it burns.
[Verse 2]
The echoes of doubt will call your name,
But every "no" is fuel for the flame.
The climb is steep, the road feels long,
But failure's just a verse in the victory song.
[Prechorus]
Fall once, fall twice, but rise once more,
That's the rhythm of dreams knocking at your door.
[Chorus]
Losers quit when they fail, oh yes indeed,
Winners fail until they succeed.
The higher the climb, the sweeter the view,
Every fall’s just proof you're pushing through.
[Bridge]
The symphony of setbacks plays in the night,
But the melody shifts with morning's light.
Each wrong note, a lesson, a line,
A jazz improvisation on borrowed time.
David Rose
