Slingshot
written by Daniel McMains & Devyn Rush Lappitt

VERSE
I know you’re feeling kinda sad and lonely
And I get it’s like you are the only one
But baby you can just release the tension
The thing is that you already won 

PRE
You don’t even know what’s bout to happen
But it’s gonna blow your mind
Every failure leads to new beginnings

CHORUS
Oh slingshot there you go
Pullin it back and ya don’t even know, that you’re
‘Bout to fly farther than you’ve ever flown 
Oh slingshot here you are
Got yourself higher than your wishin stars, cuz you
Fin’lly understand that’s what you are 

VERSE
Don’t it feel like everything is changin?
Can’t you see your life just rearranging?
Catapulting you from there to where 
You’re goin

PRE
Something beautiful’s about to happen
So baby just open up your mind 
Every failure leads to new beginnin’s

CHORUS
Oh slingshot there you go
Pullin it back and ya don’t even know, that you’re
‘Bout to fly farther than you’ve ever flown 
Oh slingshot here you are
Got yourself higher than your wishin stars, cuz you
Fin’lly understand that’s what you are 

BRIDGE
Failure leads to feeling
Feeling leads to healing 
Healing leads to living

CHORUS x2
Oh slingshot there you go
Pullin it back and ya don’t even know, that you’re
‘Bout to fly farther than you’ve ever flown 
Oh slingshot here you are
Got yourself higher than your wishin stars, cuz you
Fin’lly understand that’s what you are
