	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
	Then a prophet cries out in high platitudes
	I smile and say, "Hey, I was just passing through"
	Then 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 pass 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

	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
