about

When I was creating the BE ORIGINAL show, Kate Sullivan the producer urged me to write a song about making mistakes when experimenting. That's because a lot of people think it's wrong to make mistakes and they get deflated... but in fact mistakes are worthwhile as you can adjust your thinking, start new ideas, venture further and discover new possibilities... so here it is!

lyrics

IT’S OK TO MAKE MISTAKES by Lorraine Bowen

When you’re inventing
When you’re experimenting

It’s OK to make mistakes
To make mistakes it’s ace, it’s great!
‘Cos that’s the way we learn to know
What works and what has to go

It’s OK to make a fluff
To fluff it up, makes you tough
Soon enough you’ll get it right
But it doesn’t happen overnight

When you’re inventing, experimenting
Jazz it up!
When you’re inventing, Oooo, experimenting
Nice one!

It’s OK to make a blunder
It feels like thunder, it feels you’re going under
But laugh, repeat, learn what it takes
It’s OK to make mistakes

Take it from me! Then you’ll see
It’s OK to make mistakes!
The people that are perfect are often fakes
It’s OK to make mistakes!

When you’re inventing, experimenting

It’s OK – mistakes are thrilling!
Have you heard the story of penicillin?
No? well look it up!
All the greats have made mistakes
Even Kelloggs and his Kelloggs cornflakes!
