Lyrics
BEFORE THE FALL
I AM A SAILOR WITHOUT ASEA
I AM A CLIMBER WITHOUT A TREE
I HAVE BEEN CAPTURED TO BE SET FREE
I'M NOT ALL THAT I SHOULD BE
I AM A LOSER WHEN I WIN
I AM THE ANGEL THAT HAS SINNED
BUT I WILL RISE BEFORE THE FALL
IM A DANCER FALLING TO THE FLOOR
I AM THE FOOL STANDING AT YOUR DOOR
I DEPEND UPON YOUR GIVEN GRACE
JUST TO LOOK ON YOUR PRETTY FACE
I AM A LOSER WHEN I WIN
I'M AN ANGEL THAT HAS SINNED
BUT I WILL RISE BEFORE THE FALL
CAN'T YOU SEE THAT THERE IS A SHADOW STILL
CAN YOU HEAR THAT BELL TOLLIN' OVER THE HILL
I'M NOT GOING I DON'T HEAR THE CALL
I AIN'T THE MAN YOU THINK YOU SEE AT ALL
FROZEN STILL WHEN I SHOULD GET UP AND RUN
REGRET ALL THE THINGS IVE LEFT UNDONE
I'VE SPENT LONG YEARS THE OWNER OF MY TEARS
RUNNING FROM EVERYTHING FROZEN IN FEAR
I AM A LOSER WHEN I WIN
I AM THE ANGEL THAT HAS SINNED
BUT I SURE ENOUGH WILL RISE BEFORE THE FALL
