Fall From Grace
Fall From Grace: Echoes of Redemption in a World Spun by Rhyme and Reason
Lyrics
You put my picture in a frame
You placed my photograph in a frame.
Ten thousand voices call my name
A multitude of voices are calling my name.
You were standing here all alone
You were alone in this moment.
Painting pictures of a life you call your own
Creating images of a life you claim as yours.
You would never see the light in your way.
You were unable to see the light in your path.
We have the cash but not the time.
We possess wealth but lack time.
You have the words but not the rhyme
You have words but lack poetic rhythm.
If I told you all the right things to say
If I provided you with the right things to say.
Would you find the strength to shout it loud everyday?
Would you gather the strength to proclaim it loudly every day?
'Cause a whisper don't get heard anymore....
Because a whisper goes unnoticed nowadays.
I know there'll be people crying,justifying
I anticipate people crying and trying to justify.
If ever I fall from grace
If I ever lose favor or respect.
Watching the walls come down a new king's crowned
Witnessing established structures collapsing as a new leader emerges.
If ever I fall from grace
If I ever fall from grace.
And I know there'll be people singing,church bell ringing
And I know people will be singing, and church bells ringing.
If ever I fall from grace
If I ever lose favor or respect.
Gone but it won't take long
Absent, but the absence won't be prolonged.
The world goes on
The world continues despite my absence.
If ever I fall from grace...
If I ever lose favor or respect.
He's got that look upon his face
He wears an expression on his face.
Eyes closed and running with the race
Eyes closed, participating in life's race.
You don't understand the meaning of truth
You don't comprehend the concept of truth.
When you look into a mirror and it's not you
When you face a mirror, and the reflection is not you.
WHat does anybody know anymore?
What does anyone truly know anymore?
I know there'll be people crying,justifying
I anticipate people crying and trying to justify.
If ever I fall from grace
If I ever lose favor or respect.
Watching the walls come down a new king's crowned
Observing established structures crumble as a new leader arises.
If ever I fall from grace
If I ever fall from grace.
And I know there'll be people singing,church bell ringing
And I know people will be singing, and church bells ringing.
If ever I fall from grace
If I ever lose favor or respect.
Gone but it won't take long
Absent, but the absence won't be prolonged.
The world goes on
The world continues despite my absence.
If ever I fall from grace...
If I ever lose favor or respect.
Just as the climbing's easy
Just as ascending is easy, descending is challenging.
The falling down gets hard
Discovering the desired place is difficult.
Finding the place you're after
Even though it appears distant.
Still it seems so far...
If I ever fall from grace.
