Rio Diamond - We All Fall Down lyrics

rate me

(Arlis Albritton/Steven Dale Jones)

She says, you know the monkey bar rules

As she kisses away his playground bruise

You don't have to skip a bar each time

To make it to the other side

She picked him up from out of the sand

Then tied the shoelace that read, Superman

We all fall down

It's the gettin' back up that really counts

We live and we learn

To help someone up when it's their turn

In life there's only one guarantee

Your feet won't always be on the ground

‘Cause we all fall down

She says I know what you're goin' through

As she talks to the door of her daughter's room

Your heart feels like it's broken in two

But, baby, I'm here for you

The door opened and she stepped inside

She put her arms around her and said, it's ok to cry

We all fall down

It's the gettin' back up that really counts

We live and we learn

To help someone up when it's their turn

In life there's only one guarantee

Your feet won't always be on the ground

‘Cause we all fall down

He's forty-five and his job is gone

Cleans out his desk and he heads on home

Sees his kids out playin' in the yard

It's been a while since he's been hit so hard

He's as scared as a man can be

He tells his wife and she says, honey, look at me

We all fall down

It's the gettin' back up that really counts

We live and we learn

To help someone up when it's their turn

In life there's only one guarantee

Your feet won't always be on the ground

‘Cause we all fall down

We all fall down

But you got to get back up
