about

The assignment this week comes from Jerry:
"Ah. New Years Resolutions. The whole song could be about goals for 2017 or it could simply include a phrase like "read more" or "lose weight " or whatever."

A song about being willing to make mistakes to get to the good stuff. Kinda like mm3am.

lyrics

Step up, step out
Loud and clear throughout the town
Wake up and fight for what you feel
Bad luck, no doubt
What's lost, it can be found
And don't pretend it's no big deal

Prepare to fall down
Get ready to take a dive
You'll have to make mistakes
If you want to feel so alive
Prepare to fall down
Get ready to take a dive

C'mon and join the club
Spend your time on things you love
It's OK to let yourself be afraid
What is, what was
Don't beat yourself up for the things you've done
Get up and live another day

Prepare to fall down
Get ready to take a dive
You'll have to make mistakes
If you want to feel so alive
Prepare to fall down
Get ready to take a dive

Dive to the ocean floor and back again
Fly 'til you can move no more against the wind
Cry until you finally begin to...

Step up, step out
Loud and clear throughout the town

Prepare to fall down
Get ready to take a dive
You'll have to make mistakes
If you want to feel so alive
Prepare to fall down
Get ready to take a dive

Get ready to take a dive
