The baby sleeps while the children play |
|
and Mama don't know what Daddy don't say |
|
Yeah it's a cold world, baby |
|
so keep you're coat on |
|
And remember the things that we used to have |
|
when the world was much simpler than a dime in a bag |
|
yeah it's a cheap trick, baby |
|
So keep you're guard up |
|
Now darling I know that life doesn't seem fair |
|
There's sadness and hunger that we all must bear |
|
some worse than others and some better yet |
|
but you can't just look around |
|
with resentment and regret |
|
You can search every water, every land known to man |
|
In compassion we falter but we're only human |
|
that's just a cruel lie, baby |
|
but the truth will find you |
|
From one spark, one light, one ignition we came |
|
From one point and to one point we go again |
|
Ashes to ashes as dust turns to dust |
|
And we all go falling down |
|
Yes, we all go falling down |
|
And we all go falling down |
|
Just to rise once again |
|
Now over and over we fold and unfold |
|
and time must seem linear so that we may grow |
|
From death there comes life but from life there comes death |
|
And we all go falling down |
|
Yes, we all go falling down |
|
And we all go falling down |
|
Just to rise once again |
