BEFORE THE FALL

Just before the fall
Just before the fall
I still remember way back to the day
The first time they took the training wheels
From her bike away
If trusting was the answer
Then doubt could blow it all
But no one knows how it will go
Just before the fall
I know you sacrificed when times were lean
Oh, how you saved to make
The down payment on your future
Sight unseen
Each grain of sand worked together
To strengthen every wall
Living in that precious sandcastle
Just before the fall
And the signs all say that
The road gets rougher ahead
Just before the fall
And the signs all say that
The road gets rougher ahead
Just before the fall
And so I try to aim just in between
What I believe and what I know
That I can only dare to dream
I finally see the mercy
Of this old world after all
That we never see the blind corner
Just before the fall
And the signs all say that
The road gets rougher ahead
Just before the fall
And the signs all say that
The road gets rougher ahead
Just before the fall
