THE FALL Lyrics

Yeah

And I say

Dear Heavenly Father, hope it ain't too much to bother

But I got a couple questions, hope you answer when I'm calling

And just to be honest, though the beaten path behind us

How I'm 'posed to follow dreams while my dreams are being haunted?

By ghost of the past, I know it'll come to pass

But memories stick around like mowing the morning grass

Patience has grown strong, and pray that it's gon' last

The things that could go wrong, I pray that I don't crash

Tell me to hold on, I want what I can't grasp

My temple a war zone, a window of broke glass

A symbol to voice hope, a spirit to possess

I'm tempted to throw stones, the chip on my shoulders

Have grown to be a mountain, I'm born to be a fountain

The way the words flow like rivers, they pouring out me

You tell me lift the ones who ever doubted me

Remind me that I'm blessed without the allergies

Strengths needed where it's given

I bottle all the pain in a drank so the people don't see

Like, Father, who you kiddin'?

I follow your ways, but the waves waiting for me don't sleep

Then you asked me what's wrong, and I answered in song

Do my prayers get through at all?

Will you carry me through the fall?

Through the fall

Dear Heavenly Father, see I'm back again

I'm carrying this weight that's on my back again

You tell me love my neighbor and my enemy

With loyalty in question that's entangled with my inner peace

I'm looking at the future where the sinners sleep

And I know that I ain't perfect, who defending me?

Who defend the weak?

Who defend us when we get judged when the little things equate to big stuff?

Whats the point in even trying?

What's the weight to give up?

Just to think I moved mountains just to say I kicked rocks

What's the way to the glory?

What's the way through the hollow?

The way, and the truth, and the light for better tomorrow?

The pain that we against is bigger than all the sorrow

The weight of my regrets, my brain never forgets

Saying that you gave us free will

With you being all knowing, are decisions even real?

Huh?

Strengths needed where it's given

I bottle all the pain in a drank so the people don't see

Like, Father, who you kiddin'?

I follow your ways, but the waves waiting for me don't sleep

Then you asked me what's wrong, and I answered in song

Do my prayers get through at all?

Will you carry me through the fall?

Through the fall?

Back again like I never left

Why the dreams of my mind never manifest?

So you said "Don't worry bout dreams

When you're busy living life, I'm the one whose pulling strings

Giving everything that you need and more

Gave you looks just to be adored

When you speak it roars

Knew you'd like to get high, so you never run and hide

I equipped you with some wings to soar

All the while don't fly to close to the sun

Getting burned isn't fun, boy, I knew you'd take a plunge

Head first in the acid

Got the egg cracking

Instead of getting fried, mind scrambled, you was hatching

Actions, louder than words

When you living through me, you get passion

Followed with verbs

And I knew you'd ask questions, I knew you'd get reckless

So live everyday like it's precious"

Strengths needed where it's given

I bottle all the pain in a drank so the people don't see

Like, Father, who you kiddin'?

I follow your ways, but the waves waiting for me don't sleep

Then you asked me what's wrong, and I answered in song

Do my prayers get through at all?

But you carried me through the fall

I know you carried me through it all
