We make mistakes
We learn and grow
Start from the floor
And we rebuild you know.

We move on up
We reclaim ourselves
Learn from the past
Try not to blame ourselves.

We survive together
We stumble through
Strive to do better
When this world humbles you.

We can’t change the past
But we can sure change the future
Learn from our pain
Or the pain remains an abuser.

Let it out
Release the seal
Getting it out
Is the only real way to heal.

We suffer deep cuts
We stumble through
Only fools don’t let
This world humble you.

I’ve been humbled too
So many times
Experienced such deep pain
Felt like I nearly lost my mind.

Tried to keep it in
Project deep strength
That’s what made it worse
Where my energy felt spent.

I’ve embraced the hurt
I’ve ran it through
Put in a lot of work
Now I’m ready to hurt anew.

I’m still learning too
On ways to open up
Ask for help
Deepen trust.

We make mistakes
We learn and grow
Start from the floor
And we rebuild you know.
