SOMETIMES WE FALL
She was out there on the playground
When she fell and bumped her knee
As she sat and started crying
I ran over there to see
And when she looked into my eyes
I shyly turned my head
Then bending down, like momma did, I kissed her knee and said
Sometimes things happen
And we just don’t know why
Sometimes we fall
But there is a plan for us to fly
I’ll pick you up this time
Because I know you’ll be okay
Sometimes we fall
And sometimes… Love shows us the way
She was out in the school parking lot
Trying to move her car
She backed right into a pickup truck
That wasn’t there before
And when I saw what happened
I ran over there to see
That same sweet girl was crying
So, I reached in and turned the key
Sometimes things happen
And we just don’t know why
Sometimes we fall
But there is a plan for us to fly
I’ll pick you up this time
Because I know you’ll be okay
Sometimes we fall
And sometimes… Love shows us the way
She graduated… from the university
And her whole life… was ahead for her to see
But what she didn’t know
And what would cut her to the core
Her momma died
She thought she couldn’t go on anymore
And at the funeral there was crying
And tears of pain dropped from her head
She screamed aloud to God
Why didn’t you just take me instead
And I got up and I went to her
Right there in that funeral home
And wrapped my arms around her tight
And said my precious love… you’re not alone…
Sometimes things happen
And we just don’t know why
Sometimes we fall
But there is a plan for us to fly
I’ll pick you up my love
Because I know you’ll be okay
Sometimes we fall
And sometimes… Love… shows… us… the way…
She was out there on the playground
When she fell and bumped her knee
