FALL DOWN GENTLY
Sitting on a pedestal with my head in the clouds.
Vast oceans of people, peering over the crowds.
My gaze became a stare as my eyes focused on you,
And then I turned away.
If you should fall,
I hope you fall down gently.
Someone lift me up off the ground
So someone can knock me down.
Someone take me away.
Like a photograph that will fade,
No one ever stays where they should be.
Fall down gently.
Father time keep the gears turning,
The day is depending on you.
If the world stopped spinning
Would we all fall down?
And my eyes began to burn…
I stand before you,
Hoping you don’t fall.
But if you do…
I hope you fall down gently.
If I fall down, let me fall down gently.
If you hear these words may you understand them.
If it makes no sense, I guess that’s just the way I am.
But for now I sleep with thoughts in my head
Of a day when my thoughts will be dreams.
And as I have told you before
Don’t barricade my door
With me locked inside.
If you should fall,
I hope you fall down gently.
I stand before you an angel of mercy,
Burdened by the thoughts that hold me down.
What you wanted to be is a question
Of who you think it is you are.
How you answer, well… that’s up to you.
Sometimes I talk,
And sometimes my stomach tells me
Not to speak a word.
When the arguments over all that’s left is ignorance.
Walked a mile with your blindfold on,
And you didn’t trip once.
Or maybe you did.
I hope you never fall down…
I hope you never fall down…
I hope you don’t fall.
But if you do…
I hope you fall down gently.
Vast oceans of people, peering over the crowds.
My gaze became a stare as my eyes focused on you,
And then I turned away.
If you should fall,
I hope you fall down gently.
Someone lift me up off the ground
So someone can knock me down.
Someone take me away.
Like a photograph that will fade,
No one ever stays where they should be.
Fall down gently.
Father time keep the gears turning,
The day is depending on you.
If the world stopped spinning
Would we all fall down?
And my eyes began to burn…
I stand before you,
Hoping you don’t fall.
But if you do…
I hope you fall down gently.
If I fall down, let me fall down gently.
If you hear these words may you understand them.
If it makes no sense, I guess that’s just the way I am.
But for now I sleep with thoughts in my head
Of a day when my thoughts will be dreams.
And as I have told you before
Don’t barricade my door
With me locked inside.
If you should fall,
I hope you fall down gently.
I stand before you an angel of mercy,
Burdened by the thoughts that hold me down.
What you wanted to be is a question
Of who you think it is you are.
How you answer, well… that’s up to you.
Sometimes I talk,
And sometimes my stomach tells me
Not to speak a word.
When the arguments over all that’s left is ignorance.
Walked a mile with your blindfold on,
And you didn’t trip once.
Or maybe you did.
I hope you never fall down…
I hope you never fall down…
I hope you don’t fall.
But if you do…
I hope you fall down gently.
