For all that have come before
And for the war you're fighting
For the pages that you've torn
From the storybook you're writing
From the moment that you're born
You can't keep your tears from
I wanna be there when you fall
When you face what your heart denies
When you've finally gone too far
You're only just arriving
There's a river runnin' strong
The waters, they are risin'
I know you can only swim so long
when they're ready to shine
But you can't keep your tears
from hit ting the ground after all
I wanna be there when you fall
I wanna be there when you fall
Let me be there when you fall
when they're ready to shine
You can't keep your tears
from hit ting the ground after all
I want to be there when you fall
Mmm, let me be there when you fall
