Fail Up

Stumbling and sometimes falling are a part of it In this walk, the path can be replete with tests To walk with your head held low would be unfit Be prudent and fail up and trust the process So fail up when you fall Pick yourself up and answer the call Fail up when you fall Even if you have to start again with a crawl Dust off very well Now walk upright and tell your tale A testimony is preceded by only a test Don't hesitate to unfurl what's in your chest Fail up when you fall Tidy yourself, square your shoulders, and stand tall Speak and live from the heart And inauthenticity, please soon depart So when you stumble or fall Straighten up, dust off, and answer the call
