Candi Staton's song 'I Missed the Target Again' is an uplifting gospel track about perseverance and faith. The lyrics use the metaphor of missing a target to describe life's setbacks and unfulfilled dreams. Despite repeated failures, the singer expresses determination to keep pushing and not give up, trusting that eventual success will come, possibly in heaven.

Shot around the curve, shot around the Ben
Aimed for the skies seemed like no end
I missed the target again
I missed the target again
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I missed the target again
I feel like I'm dreaming most of the time
I know what I want by I can't seem to find
I missed the target again
Yes I did, I missed the target again
When will I see what I've been praying for come through
Things I'm believing for to make my dreams come true
Maybe it's now or maybe it's never
Maybe it's when I get to heaven
I'm gonna hit that target and win
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I missed the target again
I'll never give up, or throw in the towel
I'm gonna keep on pushing, it might take a while
I'm gonna hit that target my friend yes, I will
I'm gonna hit that target my friend
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Again
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I missed the target again
Hallelujah, hallelujah
We are winners
We gonna win every time
Hallelujah, hallelujah
We are winners
We are winners
We gonna win every time
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I missed the target again
Keep on pushing...
Don't stop trying ...
I missed the target again
Don't give up
Keep on trying
I missed the target again
I missed the target
I missed the target
I missed the target again
