The Second Act - Missy Higgins

I think I’m ready for whatever comes next

How long can I scold myself for flunking the biggest test

I think I’m ready for the turning of the wheel

Find fresh waters for these old wounds to heal

All that it took to try to succeed

Then when I failed, what it took from me

But it’s intermission, life’s calling me back

I think I’m ready for the second act

I think I’m ready for the story to change

Don’t know what I believe anymore, maybe that’s OK

I think I’m ready to forgive myself

Nobody knows what they’re doing they’re just acting well

All that it took to try to succeed

Then when I failed, what it took from me

But it’s intermission, life’s calling me back

I think I’m ready for the second act

All that it takes, to do what we must

Then when we fail, what it takes from us

But it’s intermission, life’s calling us back

I think we’re ready for the second act

Hey are we ready for the second act?
