I should know better

I should believe You

But leaves are falling

And I am crumbling in brittle pieces



I should remember

How well You warmed me

But I'm standing in the browns and greys

Of a season's ending



They say everyone must toss the coin of fate

I think it's such a cold, cold comfort for comfort's sake



So I take these coins and promises

And I hold them in my trembling hands

One is chance, one is rest

One I toss

The other I live



I fear the forecast

I know it can move me

Still I close my eyes and try to remember

The sweet words You told me

I am simply so unprepared

So weak and frightened by the whole affair



CHORUS



I cannot stand

But I will not fall

Without Your promises

Nothing makes sense at all

So I dig them in

And I dare my soul to believe



CHORUS
