Lyrics:

In a sunburnt park

Eating greenhouse tomatoes

I warm to my work

As worse comes to worst

Singing heave ho

‘Cause failure isn’t forever

Oh failures aren’t forever

Unless they never try to do better

We’ve left too big a mark

Casted too long a shadow

But failure won’t be forever

Oh failures aren’t forever

Unless they never try to do better

We’re gonna need some believers

To believe that failure isn’t forever

It’s just a point in time to get better

We welcome the dark

That pours through unlit windows

As worst recedes to worse

And we warm to the work

Singing heave ho

Failure isn’t forever

Oh failures aren’t forever

Unless they never try to do better

We’re gonna need some believers

To believe that failure isn’t forever

It’s just a point in time to get better
