Bob Ludwig - After the Fall lyrics

I just had a really bad fall And this time it was harder to get up than before I shouted to the heavens and a vision appeared I cried out "Can you help?", 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 Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again 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 profit cries out in high platitudes I smile and say, "Hey, I was just pa**ing through" And an angel cries, "Wait, we'll tell you when to move" Even at the gates of Heaven I'll be waiting in a queue Seems like I'm falling upwards Into the great white blue 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 Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again After the fall (after the fall is over) There'll be a better day After the fall is over So I fell on my arse, now I'm feeling the pain But the feeling will pa** and so will the shame The bigger the ego, the bigger the fall When your reputation counts for nothing at all Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again I will greet you when the sun shines again After the fall (after the fall is over) There'll be a better day After the fall is over
