Robert Manigault - She Falls Lyrics

On a cold winter night a house sits among the snow covered thicket
The wrath of Boreas spewed fiercely like water from a broken spigot
Inside the house a family is barely kept warm by a temperamental heater
A mother gives birth to a baby girl but doesn't live long enough to see her
Her father moved her and her two siblings to the big city
So-called sophisticated kids made fun of her because she wasn't pretty
She could always turn to her father when she felt she needed to run
That is until he was killed by a cop who thought he had a gun
At seventeen she married a guy who reminded her of her dad
Things were cool in the beginning but gradually they started turning bad
Dude started dealing drugs to make money to buy expensive toys
He ripped off a supplier so the supplier killed her husband and her two boys
Heart full of sorrow, eyes full of tears
Fate has been so brutal to her through the years
She hopes that each new day would bring a bright sunny sky
But every new day brings a new reason for her to cry
Every night she's heard praying on her knees
Saying Oh Lord, why does it seem you're not hearing my plea
They say you never give a person more than they can contend
My struggles have been so many, I'm ready for them to end
There's just one thing her perpetual misfortunes call for
And that's to find peace at the bottom of the Cliffs of Moher
There was a time when in her mind she thought she lived magically
She never thought that she would end her life so tragically
She falls
Standing at the edge of the cliff and looking down below
She hears a voice behind her that says That's not the way to go
She quickly turned around to see nobody there
She surmised it's just a gull drifting in the air
Once again she focused her attention on the rocks and Waves
She had a flashback of a billboard that says Jesus Saves
She chuckled and said, How the hell can I look forward to an afterlife
When the one I'm living now is so full of pain and strife
With no remorse she cursed goodbye to humanity
Looking to the sky she said, Lord, I commit my soul to thee
In this life it seems you blessed everyone but me
When we meet face-to-face, perhaps you can explain to me why I wasn't worthy
On that, she stepped forward to begin her final plunge
Her miserable life will be over, her pain expunged
Never again will she suffer shame and indignity
She smiles as she is thrust into eternity
She falls
She falls
She falls
She falls
