Here I Go Again

Start off slowly.

Nice and easy.

There you go, you got it.

Now work your way up.

You got it, you can do this,

you know you can.

It's not that hard.

You'll get there eventually.

You can do this, this is what you've

been working on all this time.

Now try it again.

There, that was good.

Again, but better.

Make it your best.

Now better, and--

AAAAAAAGH!

Okay, starting over.

I can do this.

I got this, man.

I can do it, it's just--

AAAAGH! Again!

Let's do this.

I can do this, easy.

I've worked my tail off to try and get here,

and I'm not turning back empty-handed.

Go, go, go.

Go, and go again.

Go until you get it right, and

don't dare come back empty-handed.

Nice and easy.

There, keep going.

You can do this, you can do this!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And then when you do,

come back to me and tell me it wasn't perfect.

Because then, I can tell you it was.

Because it was. It was perfect because

you tried.
