Catch Me If I Should Fall

The ties that bind, the passers by
The work that's done to satisfy
The appetite to matter grows
The young man strives, the old man knows
To yearn for truth, to lose the war
And life goes on, a child is born

Catch me if I should fall
Will you catch me if I should fall?
There's nothing new, that's just a pitch
The ancients knew both bait and switch

A friend will say, big words betray
To idolise what could convey
A bigger truth, a bigger soul
Some gave their lives to rock and roll
Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall
The Lord of Hosts has seen them all
And he lays it down

Catch me if I should fall
Catch me if I should fall
There's nothing new, that's just a pitch
The ancients knew both bait and switch

The hour's late, the night is cold
The morning comes, the meaning's sold
And wisdom's cheap, the fashion's old
The culture crashed long ago
The bow it breaks, the waves they crest
The wreck was doomed before we left
I can't lay me down

Catch me if I should fall
Catch me if I should fall
Will you catch me if I should fall?
Catch me if I should fall
