The dress up is better than the ball

The ride up is better than the fall

Sometimes you come down and there's no one around



Sometimes



You're left out all alone

Stripped down to skin and bone

Sometimes you come back and there's no one around



Sometimes the sky falls down

And sometimes it's just the rain

Sometimes you ride the storm

And sometimes you fade away

But when you lay down in your grave

And there's nothing more to say

Did you live up to life?



The sun shines in your face

The light of heaven's grace

Sometimes you come down and there's no one around



You're cast out on the wind

You don't know where you've been

Sometimes you wish that there was no one around



Sometimes the sky falls down

And sometimes it's just the rain

Sometimes you ride the storm

And sometimes you fade away

But when you lay down in your grave

And there's nothing more to say

Did you live up to life?



Or did you just watch it pass you by

While you waited your turn to die?



Sometimes the sky falls down

And sometimes it's just the rain

Sometimes you ride the storm

And sometimes you fade away

But when you lay down in your grave

And there's nothing more to say

Did you live up to life?
