And So It Goes

Life passes me by
In a blink of an eye
Tears that turn to joy
Laughter that ends in pain

Though I've fallen
Down and down and down
Does not mean
That I have fallen
And never to get up again

Surrounded by ravens
Weighed down by the shackles
When the rays of the sun
Blinded my foes to oblivion

Sometimes we wake up
Sometimes we don't
Sometimes when we fall
That fall kills us
And so it goes
That when I fall again,
I will fly.
