lyrics

I want to make more mistakes
To try new things that I'm not good at
I wanna' make sure I don't care
When I'm the one that others look at

Frankly I wanna' be more useful
To fear less and to have more faith
Teach me how to go the distance
And punch above my weight

Here's to better failures higher leaps and bigger falls
Cheers to all the brave ones who keep breaking down their walls
Tears may tumble down but that's no barrier at all
Here's to failing better ditching shame and standing tall

They say don't ask your maker
To take the weight from off your back
But rather ask for shoulders
Strong enough to lift the pack
