The dress up is better than the ball
The ride up is better than the fall
Sometimes you come down and there's no one around

Sometimes

You're left out all alone
Stripped down to skin and bone
Sometimes you come back and there's no one around

Sometimes the sky falls down
And sometimes it's just the rain
Sometimes you ride the storm
And sometimes you fade away
But when you lay down in your grave
And there's nothing more to say
Did you live up to life?

The sun shines in your face
The light of heaven's grace
Sometimes you come down and there's no one around

You're cast out on the wind
You don't know where you've been
Sometimes you wish that there was no one around

Sometimes the sky falls down
And sometimes it's just the rain
Sometimes you ride the storm
And sometimes you fade away
But when you lay down in your grave
And there's nothing more to say
Did you live up to life?

Or did you just watch it pass you by
While you waited your turn to die?

Sometimes the sky falls down
And sometimes it's just the rain
Sometimes you ride the storm
And sometimes you fade away
But when you lay down in your grave
And there's nothing more to say
Did you live up to life?
