A Soft Place To Fall

When despair and distraught go hand in hand When you feel like you're crashing And there's nowhere to land You have a soft place to fall. When agony and defeat are your closest friends And the river of tears Never seems to end You have a soft place to fall. When family disowns you and casts you aside And you're desperately seeking a place to hide Yet fear and lonliness won't subside You have a soft place to fall. When evil tempts you and drags you down When your happy smile turns into a frown And your energy simply won't rebound You have a soft place to fall. When kindness of others brings a tear And the shoulder you lean on Lessens your fear You Found a soft place to fall!
