Mona Matteo - Dare to begin Lyrics

Doubt says one must perfect the form,
Before facing the critic's storm.
Yet endless planning dims the spark,
And leaves ambition lost in the dark.
So often said, "I must prepare,"
A quiet thought, a whispered care.
Yet waiting long is fear's disguise,
It shields the heart, but stalls the rise.
"Not good enough, not ready yet,"
But growth begins where risks are met.
The perfect moment won't arrive,
But action now keeps dreams alive.
Perfection waits, but time won't stay,
The first step lights the longest way.
It's better to begin, though flawed it may be,
Than dream of perfection that no one will see.
The steps may falter, the path seems thin,
But failure starts only when we won't begin.
"I must first this," the mind repeats,
A self-made wall that fear completes.
This tale we tell, it feels so true,
Yet stops the light from breaking through.
The fear of eyes, the weight of shame,
May stall the spark, may dim the flame.
The world won't turn for those who hide,
But opens doors to those who stride.
Step forth, though trembling, let them see,
The spark of your creativity.
It's better to begin, though flawed it may be,
Than dream of perfection that no one will see.
The steps may falter, the path seems thin,
But failure starts only when we won't begin.
Perfection seems a noble quest,
Some things demand no less than best.
Yet used to hide from fear and doubt,
It locks the dream, it shuts it out.
What's the worst that could unfold?
A lesson learned, a story told.
The strength to act, despite the fear,
Will lift the fog, will make things clear.
So cast aside the endless "must,"
For dreams can't thrive without true trust.
'Cause progress breathes in those who say:
"The time to begin is always today."
