We Fall Down Songtext

von Bob Carlisle

Verse 1:
Cursing every step of the way,
He bore a heavy load
To the market ten miles away,
The journey took it's 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 that place....."
And the priest replied...

Chorus:
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

Verse 2:
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....'cause...

Chorus:.....
