Try Not To Fall
When the world spins and hail falls
Hardened by the cold from the sky above,
It reaches here below
As we rely on warmth of love
As tornados race, twist and destroy,
Leaving only broken frames behind
We emerge from cellars of darkness,
Searching for hope to find
When earthquakes roar and shake stability,
We reach for something to hold onto
Our prayers get lifted by the wind
Just like the pieces of debris that flew
We are only human, each with limited ability
As we try to understand the call,
When these painful times occur
All we can do is try not to fall
