Cursing every step of the way
He bore a heavy load
To the market ten miles away
The journey took its toll
And every day he pa**ed
a monastery's high cathedral walls
And it made his life
Seem meaningless and small
And he wondered how it would be
To live in such a place
To be warm, well fed and at peace
To shut the world away
So when he saw a priest
Who walked, for once, beyond the iron gate
He said, "Tell me of your life
Inside the place"
And the priest replied...
We fall down, we get up
We fall down, we get up
We fall down, we get up
And the saints are just the sinners
Who fall down and get up
Disappointment followed him home
He'd hoped for so much more
But he saw himself in a light
He had never seen before
'Cause if the priest who fell
Could find the grace of God to be enough
Then there must be some hope
For the rest of us
There must be some hope left for us
'Cause we fall down, we get up
We fall down, we get up
We fall down, we get up
And the saints are just the sinners
Who fall down and get up
We fall down, we get up
We fall down, we get up
We fall down, we get up
And the saints are just the sinners
Yeah, the saints are just the sinners
Who fall down and get up
(We fall down, we get up)
(We fall down, we get up)
(We fall down, we get up)
And the saints are just the sinners
Who fall down and get up
(We fall down, we get up)
(We fall down, we get up)
(We fall down, we get up)
And the saints are just the sinners
(We fall down, we get up)
(We fall down, we get up)
(We fall down, we get up)
And the saints are just the sinners
(We fall down, we get up)
(We fall down, we get up)
(We fall down, we get up)
And the saints are just the sinners
Yeah, the saints are just the sinners
Who fall down and get up
