Fly Before You Fall

Orphans

Fly Before You Can Fall
Toms tune / lyrics

A foreign place another time
A different world in a future life
Fast-forward to sudden rewind
And my mind can’t seem to process it all
It fights hard to get it right then eventually stalls
And I try and decide on what matters more
Does it remain to be seen or has this all happened before

Like I was born in another skin
A little worn and a little thin
You gotta shed it all before you begin
Down the road where we both might need a hand
To look back at the tracks we may not understand
How we got here, we got scared, we got no where at all
We got wise you must fly before you can fall

You gotta Fly before you can fall

The other voice inside my head, said…
my mind can’t seem to process it all
It fights hard to it get right then eventually stalls
And I try and decide on what matters more
to be able to fly or allowed to fall

You gotta Fly before you can fall
You gotta Fly before you can fall

I never cried until my mother died
All those years i kept it inside
Maybe for her, or maybe for pride
And we’ll meet up again when we both need a hand
To look back at the tracks we may not understand
How we got here, we got scared, we got nothing at all
We got wise you must fly before you can fall

You gotta Fly before you can fall

You reach for the skies you break down the wall
You shed your disguise, your identity calls
Embrace your demise, come, show us all
How you gotta fly before you can fall
