Sometimes She Falls

Sometimes She Falls

Sometimes She Falls
Sometimes she tries to do it all
Sometimes she cries
When she feels all the pain inside

It isn’t what she meant to say
She really loves with all her soul and heart 
It isn’t what she meant to do
She couldn’t find the way to play her part

Sometimes she fails
Sometimes she doesn’t follow through
Sometimes she hides
When the strength she needs just falls apart

It isn’t what she thought about
It didn’t go the way she’d planned
It isn’t what she ought to do
She just fell, succumbed to doubt

Sometimes she asks
And the words just come out wrong
Sometimes she prays
And the answers just don’t come

It isn’t that she meant to hurt
It isn’t that she tried with all her might
It isn’t that she wanted this
She just felt let down and fell again

Sometimes she falls
Sometimes she tries to do it all
Sometimes she cries 
When she feels all the pain inside

But if you look inside her heart
You will find the love that she can bring
And if you look inside her mind
You will find the beauty that’s within

So the next time you fall
Stop trying so hard to do it all
And the next time you cry
Remember the love you have inside

The beauty that is yours to give
To share with all the world to see
The life that you were born to live
That life you need to have, you are, just be
