lyrics

BEFORE THE FALL
Kiana Hayeri / Maia Sharp

They came down from the mountain like a landslide
We sank into darkness one by one
You are there to remind me how hard I tried
Oh but I can’t stop thinking there was more I could’ve done
In an unjust world I could not help them all
It was a hard year before the fall

She was a rebel with purpose ahead of her time
And I’m making my peace with a world where she’s gone
Still like a picture in the back of my mind
I see her quietly asking can’t you stay on
I was making my connection when I got the call
It was a hard year before the fall

I’ll never be the same
Life now and life before
Are two very different frames
I didn’t think I could take one more fall

Then I found love in a desert of loss
After saying goodbye again and again
I drew those lines I thought no one could cross
But something told me to let you in
I’d built it up strong, I’d built it up tall
Thank you for breaking down that wall
It was a hard year before the fall
It was a hard year before the fall
