I haven’t heard enough praise of the new Shakira song premiered as part of Zootopia. It has an amazing message that we can all stand to hear more often.
A few excerpts:
Birds don’t just fly, they fall down and get up
Nobody learns without getting it wrong.I’ll keep on making those new mistakes
I’ll keep on making them every day.I won’t give up, no I won’t give in
‘Til I reach the end and then I’ll start again.
No, I won’t leave, I wanna try everything,
I wanna try even though I could fail.
We could all stand for more reminders of failure as the path to success. This one comes as a catchy tune that my sons walk around singing. Double bonus!
(The only quibble I have is the line “even though I could fail”–failure is inevitable, but is necessary to reach success.)
What song have you heard recently with a powerful lesson?
