After a fall you must rise Pick yourself up for the next surprise Lie there for a minute on the floor, No bones broken but the body feels sore Praise yourself and stand up tall, Don’t stay down after a fall. You may feel hurt or shatter like a cup, When you go down the only way is back up. Fall forwards down to one side Go backwards and lose your pride Dropped like a glass just about to smash A phoenix rising up from the ash Its more than instinct avoiding pain The will to live is to get up again

The Rise and Fall
After a fall you must rise Pick yourself up for the next surprise Lie there for a minute on the floor, No bones broken but the body feels sore Praise yourself and stand up tall, Don’t stay down after a fall. You may feel hurt or shatter like a cup, When you go down the only way is back up. Fall forwards down to one side Go backwards and lose your pride Dropped like a glass just about to smash A phoenix rising up from the ash Its more than instinct avoiding pain The will to live is to get up again
