Robert Manigault - She Falls [Original] 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.
