|
Cursing every step of the way, he bore a heavy load |
|
To the market ten miles away, the journey took its toll |
|
And every day he passed a monastery's high cathedral walls |
|
And it made his life seem meaningless and small |
|
And he wondered how it would be to live in such a place |
|
To be warm, well fed and at peace, to shut the world away |
|
So when he saw a priest who walked, for once, beyond the iron gate |
|
He said, "Tell me of your life inside the place", and the priest replied |
|
We fall down, we get up, we fall down, we get up |
|
We fall down, we get up |
|
And the saints are just the sinners |
|
Who fall down and get up |
|
Disappointment followed him home, he'd hoped for so much more |
|
But he saw himself in a light he had never seen before |
|
'Cause if the priest who fell could find the grace of God to be enough |
|
Then there must be some hope for the rest of us |
|
There must be some hope left for us |
|
'Cause we fall down, we get up, we fall down, we get up |
|
We fall down, we get up |
|
And the saints are just the sinners |
|
Who fall down and get up |
|
We fall down, we get up, we fall down, we get up |
|
We fall down, we get up |
|
And the saints are just the sinners |
|
Yeah, the saints are just the sinners |
|
Who fall down and get up |
|
(We fall down, we get up, we fall down, we get up) |
|
(We fall down, we get up) |
|
And the saints are just the sinners |
|
Who fall down and get up |
|
(We fall down, we get up, we fall down, we get up) |
|
(We fall down, we get up) |
|
And the saints are just the sinners |
|
(We fall down, we get up, we fall down, we get up) |
|
(We fall down, we get up) |
|
And the saints are just the sinners |
|
(We fall down, we get up, we fall down, we get up) |
|
(We fall down, we get up) |
|
And the saints are just the sinners |
|
Yeah, the saints are just the sinners |
|
Who fall down and get up |
