Bob Carlisle - We Fall Down lyrics

rate me

Cursing every step of the Way, he bore a heavy load

To the market ten miles away, The journey took its toll

And every day he passed a Monastery's high cathedral Walls

And it made his life seem Meaningless and small

And he wondered how it would Be to live in such a place

To be warm, well fed and at Peace; to shut the world away

So when he saw a priest who Walked, for once, beyond the Iron gate

He said, Tell me of your life Inside the place...

And the priest replied...

We fall down, we get up

We fall down, we get up

We fall down, we get up

And the saints are just the Sinners

Who fall down and get up

Disappointment followed him Home; he'd hoped for so much More

But he saw himself in a light He had never seen before

Cause if the priest who fell Could find the Grace of God To be enough

Then there must be some hope For the rest of us

There must be some hope left For us

We fall down, we get up

We fall down, we get up

We fall down, we get up

And the saints are just the Sinners

Who fall down and get up
