Yea, I did make a mistake Does it have to halt me like a brake? Do I have to let it feed on me like steak? Will I dwell on it till my life is at risk? You said I failed Well, that doesn't mean I'm frail You can't get me off this rail My goal is to accomplish this holy grail I didn't get it right the first time I'll do it one more time Not right? One more time I won't stop until I say, "I got it right this time!"

When you really want something, not getting it right won't stop you, not what people say would stop you. You have to do it the Thomas Edison way!
