After The Fall |
I just had a really bad fall |
And this time it was harder to get up than before |
I shouted to the heavens and a vision appeared |
I cried out «Can you help?», it replied «Not at all» |
After the fall is over |
You’ll be on your own |
After the fall is over |
There’ll be wrecks to clear in this war zone |
There’ll be much to clean and time to atone |
But while it’s dark you can shelter here |
In the bleak midwinter when you’re feeling the fear |
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again |
A life’s gotta have direction |
After the deals are done |
You gotta ask the question |
Ask yourself why you go through it all |
When morality kicks in, who will catch you when you fall |
I’m a sinner waiting at the traveler’s rest |
Seeking refuge from the storm, and I’m a grateful guest |
And a profit cries out in high platitudes |
I smile and say, «Hey, I was just passing through» |
And an angel cries, «Wait, we’ll tell you when to move» |
Even at the gates of Heaven I’ll be waiting in a queue |
Seems like I’m falling upwards |
Into the great white blue |
And all my imperfections |
You can learn your lines and fabricate a show |
But the way we come in, yeah, that’s the way we’re gonna go |
We cheat and lie to conquer our fears |
We can put on a smile just to cover up the tears |
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again |
After the fall (after the fall is over) |
There’ll be a better day |
After the fall is over |
So I fell on my arse, now I’m feeling the pain |
But the feeling will pass and so will the shame |
The bigger the ego, the bigger the fall |
When your reputation counts for nothing at all |
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again |
I will greet you when the sun shines again |
After the fall (after the fall is over) |
There’ll be a better day |
After the fall is over |
