LYRICS:
Today
I made a mistake.
I mixed up the numbers.
I swung too late.
I hurt my friend.
My project didn’t turn out great.
I lied. I made a mistake.
I feel overwhelmed, I feel ashamed,
I want to find someone else to blame
But I’ll take a great big breath, and say:
It’s alright, It’s OK
I made a mistake today
I figure out where I went wrong
Repair where I can then move along
It’s alright, It’s OK
I can find help along the way
Everybody makes mistakes
Learning & Skills Mistakes
When I’m practicing a skill,
Or learning something new
At the desk, on the field
I’ll make a mistake
Or two (or maybe 32)
My brain may tell me I just don’t know,
but this is my chance to learn and grow
I retrace my steps and practice more,
Then I’ll do things I couldn't do before
For anything I want to be
Mistakes are part of my journey
I’ll take a great big breath, and say:
Chorus:
It’s alright, It’s OK
I made a mistake today
I figure out where I went wrong
Repair where I can then move along
It’s alright, It’s OK
I can find help along the way
Everybody makes mistakes
Values mistakes
As I grow to be a truer version of me
I make mistakes with values, like kindness or honesty
My brain may tell me that I’m the worst
But mistakes do not define my worth
I recognise what I did or said
And make a plan to move ahead
Relationships mistakes
I make mistakes with others
As I try to be a friend
Sometimes I don’t listen or share,
Sometimes I offend
My brain may tell me It’s too tough
Or that I’m not good enough
But I can try to see it through their eyes
own my part, and apologize
“I’m so sorry. I can see how that was hurtful. What can I do?”
CHORUS REPEAT
