Felix Culpa
The Fall necessary for redemption
Exodus needed to reach Promised Land
The Cross before glory resurrection
Sometimes, evil's allowed by God's command
We need to fall to rise again 'bove pain
"Failure is the stepping stone to success"
If we do not commit mistakes, no gain
Sometimes, we don't learn lessons without mess
So, count yourself fortunate if you fall
"A just man falls seven times and rises"
Hurdles in the way won't cause your downfall
For Phoenix, out of ashes, arises.
