Forgive me, I’m a messy human. There are times in life that are just plain painful. We’re doing our best, then all of a sudden we realize our best was hurting someone. What can we do in these times, but practice self-compassion, feel where it hurts, understand why it hurts, and dare to try again with this new awareness? May this song help you embrace the pain and opportunity of being a Messy Human.
Part 1:
This is how we grow. x7
Part 2:
Forgive me, I’m a messy human
Forgive me, I’m a messy human
Forgive me, I’m a messy human
I don’t know what I don’t know
Until I know it
Thank you for helping me grow
Part 3:
Better be imperfect than unfinished
Better be imperfect than undone
Better be imperfect than have never been tried
Better be imperfect than be silent
Better be imperfect than be silent
Part 4:
Dare to do right
Prepare to stumble
Lean into the discomfort
It wouldn’t hurt if it didn’t matter to you
This is how we grow
THANKS!
To Paul Barton for influencing my note choice on the word “stumble,” suggesting the word “do” to replace “be” in “Dare to do right,” producing and recording this song with me, and generally being an amazing support in my life!
To Mila Redwood whose wise wisdom is carried in this song. Your ability to be beautifully messy is a gift in my life!
