Lyrics

LEARNING TO FALL

I was young and knew nothing
Now somehow I know even less
Forgive me my youth
It was all for the best
Forgive my foolishness
It’s grown simpler now
‘Cause I’m sure what I like
Who I love and who I’m gonna fight
As long as there’s time on my hands

I’ve had to run
I’ve had to crawl
Been rich as a king
Had nothing at all
Still raising hell
And tearing down walls
I know where I stand
I’m learning to fall

Now, me, I’ve tasted true glory
Had a long sweet time on the stage
I laughed till I cried
I lived what I played
Never had to act my age
And it’s beautiful how
New blessings unfold
In ways I could never have known
But I’ve still got some time
On my hands

I’ve had to run
I’ve had to crawl
Been rich as a king
Had nothing at all
Still raising hell
And tearing down walls
I know where I stand
I’m learning to fall

And it’s beautiful how
New blessings unfold
In ways I could never have known
But I’ve still got some time
On my hands

I’ve had to run
I’ve had to crawl
Been rich as a king
Had nothing at all
Still raising hell
And tearing down walls
I know where I stand
I’m learning to fall
