getting it right

i was glued to you tube last night, watching over and over the video from glee - where the song "get it right" was sung so painful-heartedly.  shared by she-she in expressive therapy class last week, i got intrigued by whole idea of the song, and truly though... this song fits just right.

from lyricsmode.com:

GET IT RIGHT

What have I done

I wish I could run

Away from this ship going under

Just trying to help

Hurt everyone else

Now I feel the weight of the world is

On my shoulders

What can you do when your good isn't good enough

And all that you touch tumbles down

'Cuz my best intentions keep making a mess of things

I just want to fix it somehow

But how many times will it take

Oh how many times will it take for me

To get it right

To get it right

Can I start again

With my faith shaken

'Cuz I can't go back and undo this

I just have to stay

And face my mistakes

But if I get stronger and wiser

I'll get through this

What can you do when your good isn't good enough

I just want to fix it somehow

But how many times will it take
But how many times will it take for me
To get it right

So I throw up my fist, throw a punch in the air
And accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair
Yeah I sent out wish
Yeah I sent up a prayer

Then finally someone will see how much I care

What can you do when your good isn't good enough

And all that you touch tumbles down

Oh my best intentions keep making a mess of things

I just want to fix it somehow

But how many times will it take

Oh how many times will it take

To get it right

To get it right



feels like there are times and circumstances in our lives where it feels difficult to get it right the first time, and the second time.  but it doesn't mean we can never get the chance to straighten up the crooked, redo and start anew, forgive and forget.  questions like how often is often, can we ever say?  unless of course, we would rather have the crooked, the routine and more convenient ways... unless of course we are too scared to take chances of the unknown.

i'm bolder, stronger and better.

and i'm anxious and scared, but i'll take my chances.

i know i am never alone.

my God is bigger than the odds.
