After The Fall

Intro Riff 1 I just had a really bad fall and this time it was harder to get up than before (Hold) I shouted to the heavens and a vision appeared I cried out "Can you help?", Riff1 it replied "Not at all" After the fall is over You'll be on your own After the fall is over There'll be wrecks to clear in this war zone There'll be much to clean and time to atone But while it's dark you can shelter here In the bleak midwinter when you're feeling the fear Riff1 Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again Riff1 A life's gotta have direction After the deals are done You gotta ask the question Ask yourself why you go through it all When morality kicks in, who will catch you when you fall I'm a sinner waiting at the traveler's rest Seeking refuge from the storm, and I'm a grateful guest And a prophet cries out in high platitudes I smile and say, "Hey, I was just passing through" And an angel cries, "Wait, we'll tell you when to move" Riff 1 Even at the gates of Heaven I'll be waiting in a queue Riff1 Seems like I'm falling upwards Into the great white blue Riff1 And all my imperfections You can learn your lines and fabricate a show But the way we come in, yeah, that's the way we're gonna go We cheat and lie to conquer our fears We can put on a smile just to cover up the tears
