We fall down, we make mistakes.
Only people who try know what it takes.
People shouldn't give up because of failure.
Because if we quit, to success, we won't come any nearer.
If we don't fail, we'll never succeed.
Whether we get hurt, we sweat or even bleed.
We fail, but still learn from what we've done wrong.
When we don't quit, we become more strong.
Even if we come last, it isn't the end.
It just means we need more practising and time to spend.
Make the time longer that we practise and train.
Correct our mistakes and then try again.
We'll never become perfect but only improve.
And we'll get better each time we make a move.
