DEEZER

[Verse 1]
He was trying to be wise
Though he couldn't understand
There were many reasons why
He was a foolish young man

He said "I'm better on my own
There's a thrilling world out there
You say you want me at home
But I do not really care"

[Verse 2]
Pleasure is a god
As the desires start to burn
First you throw away it all
Then you get nothing in return

And that young man was me
Wasting coins on empty fun
Not being able to see
The kind of man I would become

[Chorus 1]
And there I was (oooh-oooh)
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Yes there I was (oooh-oooh)
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down

[Verse 3]
Fakе things never seem to last
At least thеy didn't last for me
And I remembered from my past
Warnings I never cared to heed

So then started my descent
Wanting just to be a rich man's slave
Towards my father's house I went
With my head held low and hopes the same

[Chorus 2]
And there I was
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Yes there I was
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down

[Verse 4 / Bridge]
I found myself at home
Even though I just had arrived
My body shaking to the bones
And I was looking to hide

But he saw me in need
And as the walls were closing in
He came running to meet
The son who dishonored him

[Chorus 3]
And there I was
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
(Yeah I was falling down)
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down (I was falling, losing face, yeah)

[Chorus 4]
Oh but then you came and
Yes you raised me up
I got a ring and a robe and a feast
And a home and a crown (Yes you raised me up Father)
You raised me up, yeah
I got a ring and a robe and a feast
And a home and a crown

[Outro]
Yes you raised me up
