All they would let me know, Tell me, to fail is to grow Held my wings under the sky Waiting for the day I would fly But the wings didn’t flap, only flail Because to grow, you must fail So when I tumbled down in a landslide Your best option was to keep me inside The one thing you’ll forever know My needs to you will never tailor They tell me to fail is to grow But you have sheltered me from failure

to fail is to grow, but you have sheltered me from failure
All they would let me know, Tell me, to fail is to grow Held my wings under the sky Waiting for the day I would fly But the wings didn’t flap, only flail Because to grow, you must fail So when I tumbled down in a landslide Your best option was to keep me inside The one thing you’ll forever know My needs to you will never tailor They tell me to fail is to grow But you have sheltered me from failure
