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
