The Fall
(Benjamin Schmid)

WAV 1,12 MB, 104 sec

Every day I wake up once more
I tell myself I´ll do so many things
So many reasons to live for
But self-confidence shrinks
Every evening I look at the day
At chances I had to take but didn't try
Possibilities seem to slip away
And all I manage to do is sigh

And I wish I were better
I wish it would change
I wish I could do everything I want
I wish I could climb my wall

I stand here staring at the wall
I tell myself that it's too tall
I know that I have to try
Although I think for now it is too high
Everyone is standing in front of his wall
But no one wants to fall
It would be good to find out why
I'm weak, I think it is too high

I see an image I can't fit in
They say: Seize the day, it is a sin
But I stare at my wall
Sometimes it's small, sometimes it's tall
But unscalable it seems to me
When will I manage to be free?
The wall of life, it is so high
On the other side I'll die

Everytime I climb a wall
I see the next, twice as tall
That's the way it goes
Every time my self-confidence grows
If I made the first, I would make them all
But still I'm afraid of the fall
