Week 108 - "We All Make Mistakes Sometimes"

This song is for helping children develop coping skills.  It is based on the cognitive distortion known as labeling, which cause people to label themselves as "no good" or as a "loser" as the result of making a mistake.  Of course, most people that apply these labels forget all the times when they've done things right.  This song is intended to help children learn to avoid this sort of self labeling.

Lyrics:
   C                Am   F     G
We all make mistakes sometimes
Yes, we all make mistakes sometimes.

When you make a mistake,
It's so easy to think
That nothing you do is right,
But let me show you the light.

            Am
You see, we all get upset when something goes wrong,
    D                                      G7
But think of all the times when you finished strong.

And remember that
We all make mistakes sometimes
Yes, we all make mistakes sometimes.

When you make a mistake,
It's so easy to think
That you just can never win,
But let me say it again.

You see, we all get upset when something goes wrong,
But think of all the times when you finished strong.

And remember that
We all make mistakes sometimes
Yes, we all make mistakes sometimes.
