Most kids love wordplays and double entenders. So do I. It's encouraging to remember that no matter how successful someone is, he/she got that way by learning from mistakes - even teachers! Don't mistake my meaning. This song is a play on words. Teachers help us learn and grow. And understand our world

lyrics

Words and Music copyright, 1998

Mistakes are our teachers
Our teachers are mistakes
We have a chance to learn something
From each mistake we make

Thomas Alva Edison
Made the light bulb shine
But before he got it right
He was wrong 500 times

Wilber and Orville Wright
Believed that they could fly
It took years of falling down
Before they reached the sky

Rosa parks was right
When she said " I will not move"
The law was a mistake
As Rosa's courage proved

The great Henry Aaron
The all time home run king
For every homer Henry hit
He took a thousand swings
