That mistake you'll never make again. Every shining dream that fades and dies Generates the steam for two more tries. Oh, there's magic in the wake of a fiasco: It gives you that chance to second-guess, Then up from the ashes, Up from the ashes, Grow the roses of success. Disaster didn't stymie Louis Pasteur. Edison took years to see the light. Alexander Graham knew failure well. He took a lot of notes to ring that bell. So when it gets distressing, it's a blessing. Onward and upward you must press, Till up from the ashes, Up from the ashes, Grow the roses of success.
