Lyrics
Fallen Angel
Everybody stumbles, everybody falls.
So you take a tumble when you want it all.
Life's a challenge to arrange well if you're a fallen angel.
You may struggle to arrange well when you're a fallen angel.
Nobody is perfect; honey, that's a fact.
Working toward a purpose you can get off track.
Life's a challenge to arrange well for a fallen angel.
People are perpetually picking out their way.
Making up the rules, inventing new tools every day.
Everybody's only trying to cope and hoping
that they'll find love.
Living is a riddle: try to work it out.
Find a time for family, yes, without a doubt;
Life's a struggle to arrange well for a fallen angel.
Have you done it all right, or did you make mistakes?
Do you look at bottom lines or count the winning takes?
Life's a challenge to arrange well for a fallen angel.
People are perpetually picking out their way.
Making up the rules, inventing new tools every day.
This fallen angel's only trying to cope, and dares to hope that I've found love.
Everybody tumbles, everybody falls.
Even though you stumble when you want it all,
Life's for learning to arrange well when you're a fallen angel.
'Though you struggle to arrange well, you're lucky, fallen angel.
