Everybody here has made a mistake
But that won’t likely be your biggest mistake
It’s what you do following your mistake
It’s the second act when you react by making good or making bad the thing you’ve already done
What you do when you find that your soul’s on the line

But there you go again, everywhere you see the end
You can’t be happy ‘cause you’re thinking that the haters will win
You can’t be happy in the shadow of what might have been
You can’t be happy when you lose because you thought you would win
You can’t be happy with the world in a tailspin
And you’re already done before you begin

So let’s not be that way, let’s find a better way
We can be happy even if there is a touch of blue
We can happy if we focus on the things we can do
We can be happy knowing that our dreams can still come true
We can be happy knowing love is here for me and you
It’s not time to fade out, it’s the time to dig in

And there you go again, to care and dare to win
Hush, little baby now, don’t you cry
You cannot win ‘em all, but you can still try
And when you don’t, you can figure out why
No, you’re not ready yet to say goodbye
Even when you want to lay down and cry
The dream you’re dreamin’ is too young to die
Falling down is how you learn how to fly
You’ve got no reason not to hold your head high

The world may end, but not today
The world may end, but not today
The world may end, but not today
The world may end, but not today
The world may end, but not today
No, not today, no, not today, no, not today
No, not today, no, not today, no, not today
No, not today, no, not today, no, not today
No, not today, no, not today, no, not today
