Lyrics:

\\n

In a sunburnt park

\\n

Eating greenhouse tomatoes

\\n

I warm to my work

\\n

\\n

As worse comes to worst

\\n

Singing heave ho

\\n

\\n

\\u2018Cause failure isn\\u2019t forever

\\n

Oh failures aren\\u2019t forever

\\n

Unless they never try to do better

\\n

\\n

We\\u2019ve left too big a mark

\\n

Casted too long a shadow

\\n

\\n

But failure won\\u2019t be forever

\\n

Oh failures aren\\u2019t forever

\\n

Unless they never try to do better

\\n

We\\u2019re gonna need some believers

\\n

To believe that failure isn\\u2019t forever

\\n

It\\u2019s just a point in time to get better

\\n

\\n

We welcome the dark

\\n

That pours through unlit windows

\\n

As worst recedes to worse

\\n

\\n

And we warm to the work

\\n

Singing heave ho

\\n

\\n

Failure isn\\u2019t forever

\\n

Oh failures aren\\u2019t forever

\\n

Unless they never try to do better

\\n

We\\u2019re gonna need some believers

\\n

To believe that failure isn\\u2019t forever

\\n

It\\u2019s just a point in time to get better

\\n
