Everybody Falls
On those lonely days,
When the sky is pouring rain,
You look out through haze,
And see memories that bring you pain
The only woman you hold dear,
Walked away and out the door,
You can’t help but shed a tear,
As you watch it all once more,
Oh, everybody falls sometimes,
From the high places in our lives,
We land down among our crimes,
The lies cutting just like knives,
We try to read between the lines,
Yet we all seem to shrink from our dives,
Yea, everybody falls sometimes,
From the high places in our lives,
The wind that chills you to the bone,
Will push you onward when you roam,
And when you’re weary and alone,
The fire still burns back at home,
When life gets you down so low,
Where you can’t even find your way,
Well I’ve been there and I know,
That tomorrow’s a whole new day
Oh, everybody falls sometimes,
From the high places in our lives,
We land down among our crimes,
The lies cutting just like knives,
We try to read between the lines,
Yet we all seem to shrink from our dives,
Yea, everybody falls sometimes,
But we all get on with our lives,
Oh, everybody falls sometimes,
But we get on with our lives,
Yeah we get on with our lives
