FALLING

I'M FALLING BY THE WAYSIDE OF LIFE, IT DOES SEEM TO

ME,

FOR ALL I HEAR ARE NEGATIVES, SICKNESS IS ALL I SEE.

THERE MUST BE SOMETHING BETTER,

THIS JUST CAN'T BE THE APOGEE.

ALL I HEAR IS NEGATIVE THIS, NEGATIVE THAT,

ANGER IS RUNNING RAMPANT AROUND ME.

THERE MUST BE SOMETHING BETTER,

IF NOT, I'M FALLING, DON'T YOU AGREE?

WHY IS THE NATIONAL NEWS ALWAYS BAD,

IS GOOD NOT NEWS-WORTHY AT ALL?

ARE MURDERS, BEATINGS, THIEVERY, CHEATING,

WHAT WE WANT TO HEAR? IF SO, I MIGHT GO AWOL.

OUR LEADERS ARE NOT LEADERS, IT SEEMS,

THEY ARE AFTER ALMIGHTY POWER.

AND WHAT THEY WILL DO TO GET IT,

DIFFERS BY THE HOUR.

THEY LIE, THEY CHEAT, THEY EVEN STEAL,

FROM THE COUNTRY THEY SWORE TO SERVE.

I WONDER NOW WHO IS FALLING,

OR WHO HAS UNMITIGATED NERVE?

SO I GUESS I'M NOT SO BAD, AFTER ALL,

THOUGH, THE OPPOSITE, IT SEEMS.

FOR GOOD STILL WINS OVER THE BAD,

EVEN IF IT'S ONLY IN MY DREAMS.

YET, FOLKS, IN THE END THAT'S COMING SOON,

WE SHALL, HOPEFULLY, ALL SEE,

JESUS COMING IN THE CLOUDS,

THEN HAPPY, WE SHALL BE.

WE SHALL FOREVER BE WITH HIM,

WHERE-EVER HE SHALL BE.

IT MATTERS NOT TO ME AT ALL,

FOR WHERE HE IS, YOU SHALL FIND ME.
