# POTHOLE III — TRIAL & ERROR ## “Another Way Around” ### Duet — Under 3 Minutes [Intro — Alternating] [Voice A] There it is again. [Voice B] But this time you see it. [Voice A] So which way? [Voice B] Let's find out. [Verse 1 — Voice A] I tried going left, I tried going right, I watched every step, Held on too tight. I followed the rules, I did what they said— Still somehow stumbled Too close to the edge. [Voice B] Then we'll try something different, No shame in changing course. Every road that didn't work Still taught us something more. [Pre-Chorus — Alternating] [Voice A] What if I get it wrong? [Voice B] Then we learn. [Voice A] What if I fall? [Voice B] Then we return. [Chorus — Duet] [Voice A] Left, right, I'm finding my way— [Voice B] One step, One choice, One change every day. [Voice A] I may still stumble— [Voice B] You may lose the ground— [Both] But every fall can teach us Another way around. [Verse 2 — Voice B] Some days you need to slow down, Some days you need a hand, Some days the bravest answer Is changing what you planned. [Voice A] I'm learning when I'm tired, I'm learning when to stop, I'm learning all the little signs That lead me to the drop. [Voice B] You're learning your own road now. [Voice A] Not somebody else's map. [Both] And every step is teaching us A better way to act. [Bridge — Call & Response] [Voice A] Try left? [Voice B] Let's go. [Voice A] Too close! [Voice B] Step back. [Voice A] Slow down? [Voice B] That's strength. [Voice A] Ask for help? [Voice B] Exactly that. [Voice A] And if this way doesn't work? [Voice B] We try another path. [Final Chorus — Duet] [Voice A] Left, right, I'm finding my way— [Voice B] Not perfect, Just wiser With every new day. [Voice A] I might still stumble— [Voice B] But look what you've found— [Both] Every fall can teach us Another way around. We don't need perfection, We just need to learn— Another step, Another way, Another turn. [Outro] [Voice A] I thought falling meant failure. [Voice B] Now? [Voice A] It means... try another way. [Both] We'll walk and grow together.
