Lyrics:

\\n

In a sunburnt park
Eating greenhouse tomatoes
I warm to my work

As worse comes to worst
Singing heave ho

\\u2018Cause failure isn\\u2019t forever
Oh failures aren\\u2019t forever
Unless they never try to do better

We\\u2019ve left too big a mark
Casted too long a shadow

But failure won\\u2019t be forever
Oh failures aren\\u2019t forever
Unless they never try to do better
We\\u2019re gonna need some believers
To believe that failure isn\\u2019t forever
It\\u2019s just a point in time to get better

We welcome the dark
That pours through unlit windows
As worst recedes to worse

And we warm to the work
Singing heave ho

Failure isn\\u2019t forever
Oh failures aren\\u2019t forever
Unless they never try to do better
We\\u2019re gonna need some believers
To believe that failure isn\\u2019t forever
It\\u2019s just a point in time to get better
