Confetti In Motion

V1

Woke up late but I still showed up,

coffee stain on my only luck,

my mirror winked, said “close enough,”

I called that progress, rough and tough.

V2

Traffic jam turned to drumbeat time,

I sang my mantra off-key rhyme,

each red light flashed like neon signs—

“hey, you’re still moving, you’re still fine.”

V3

Boss said goals need polish and proof,

I hung small wins like stars on my roof,

I’ll take momentum over truth,

‘cause truth gets lazy under the booth.

Pre 1

Who decided finish lines define the fun

Ain’t the chase where the glory’s spun

Chorus

I’m halfway up, that’s not a fall,

don’t wait till the big win calls.

Life’s too short to save applause—

I’m confetti in motion, flaws and all.

Who said joy has to WAIT TILL THE END

V4

Saved five bucks and skipped the bar,

talked to myself in a parked-out car,

counted blessings like falling tar,

messy miracles, that’s who we are.

V5

Text from Mom said, “how’s your soul”

I said, “it’s halfway to rock-n-roll,”

she laughed, “don’t wait till you’re whole—

throw confetti every toll.”

Pre 2

What if success is just staying alive,

one grin, one groove, one messy drive

Chorus

I’m halfway up, that’s not a fall,

don’t wait till the big win calls.

Life’s too short to save applause—

I’m confetti in motion, flaws and all.

Who said joy has to WAIT TILL THE END

V6

Laundry mountain, unpaid bills,

victory’s hiding in little hills,

I climb one sock at a time until

the view’s all heart, not skill.

V7

Dreams once felt like distant towns,

now they’re mile-markers, I write ’em down,

each scratch-off win, each turnaround,

a crown made outta breakdowns.

V8

My sneakers squeak on purpose now,

soundtrack of the sacred vow:

keep it real, don’t chase the wow,

momentum’s holy anyhow.

Pre 3

Do we only cheer when trophies gleam,

or when we’re brave enough to dream

Chorus

I’m halfway up, that’s not a fall,

don’t wait till the big win calls.

Life’s too short to save applause—

I’m confetti in motion, flaws and all.

Who said joy has to WAIT TILL THE END

V9

They clap for endings, I clap for tries,

for half-built plans and lopsided ties,

I’ll toast the effort that never dies,

and raise a glass to “almost” skies.

V10

Got no medal, just motion blur,

a heart that hums, a soul that stirs,

I’ll take the journey over “sure,”

I’m rich in miles, that’s pure.

Pre 4

Can’t a stumble count as proof we tried,

and still keep rhythm on the side

Chorus

I’m halfway up, that’s not a fall,

don’t wait till the big win calls.

Life’s too short to save applause—

I’m confetti in motion, flaws and all.

Who said joy has to WAIT TILL THE END

V11

Each stumble’s proof that I still care,

each small repair’s a kind of prayer,

I patch my hope with crooked flair,

confetti floating everywhere.

V12

So if you see me mid-rehearse,

don’t wait for the chorus, cheer the verse,

‘cause even failure’s been reversed—

it taught me how to thirst.

Pre 5

If I fall forward, does that count as flight

Ain’t momentum just failing right

Chorus

I’m halfway up, that’s not a fall,

don’t wait till the big win calls.

Life’s too short to save applause—

I’m confetti in motion, flaws and all.

Who said joy has to WAIT TILL THE END

V13

And when my song’s near halfway through,

I’ll thank the crowd for the debut,

the after-party’s every hue—

the beat goes on, not “we’re through.”

Bridge

The wheel keeps turning, call it grace,

every spin rewrites the race,

I’m chasing rhythm, not first place,

confetti falling in my face.

Chorus

I’m halfway up, that’s not a fall,

don’t wait till the big win calls.

Life’s too short to save applause—

I’m confetti in motion, flaws and all.

Who said joy has to WAIT TILL THE END

Outro

All my wins are paper thin,

but they shine like souls within,

let the final drum begin—

I’ll dance till I’m a grin.
