[Verse 1] Ande spilled the paint all over the floor Said something mean and then slammed the door Sat on the porch feeling bad inside Nanny Dolores came out and sat by her side [Pre-Chorus] She said "nobody gets it right every day The trying is the whole point anyway" [Chorus] Try again tomorrow, try again today Being good's a practice, not a perfect grade Be honest, be kind, clean up your mess Give your best and then confess You didn't get it right — and that's okay Mark the book and find a better way [Verse 2] Sam forgot to share, Ande lost her cool Buzz got lazy on a sunny day after school Flora didn't listen, Terra hid inside her shell Scout chewed up the homework — oh well [Pre-Chorus] Nanny Dolores said "here's what virtue means It's not about being perfect — it's the in-betweens" [Chorus] Try again tomorrow, try again today Being good's a practice, not a perfect grade Be honest, be kind, clean up your mess Give your best and then confess You didn't get it right — and that's okay Mark the book and find a better way [Bridge — call and response] Were you patient? (I tried!) Were you honest? (I tried!) Were you kind today? (I really tried!) Did you mess up? (A little bit!) That's okay because — [Final Chorus] Try again tomorrow, try again today A good citizen's built, not born that way Show up, speak up, own what you do The best version of the world starts with you Try again tomorrow — here we go Character's a garden and it's gonna grow [Outro] Temperance — try! Silence — try! Order — try! Every single day — try try try!
