We All Fall Down

(album: Charleston, SC 1966 - 2010)

What makes a man
Work 'til his kids get too old to kiss and hug
Keep on climbing that imaginary mountain
When is enough enough
What makes a man build a kingdom
Only to lose his woman
How high is too high how big is too big
How far will we go just to slip off the edge

We all fall down
Life takes us out
The sky starts spinning when our heads
Get above the clouds
The higher we fly the harder it feels
When we hit the ground
Yeah we all fall down
Yeah we all fall down

How does a man pick himself up
When he's let himself down
Tell me where does he find the courage
To turn his world back around
Will he break down and cry
Like someone just died
What can he say about the man he used to be
When he can't even speak but he's dying to scream

We all fall down
When we find out
That the sky starts spinning when our heads
Get above the clouds
The higher we fly the harder it feels
When we hit the ground
Yeah we all fall down
Yeah we all fall down

He's the only one to blame and the only who knows
How low must he go to win back his soul

Yeah we all fall down
Yeah we all fall down
