Kareem Salama - When I Fall

I remember driving down on three fifty nine

Saw a homeless veteran riding his bike

The red white and blue waving off his handle bars

And all us who sent him off to war driving by in our cars

And I recall a hot day in the city of Cairo

Saw an old woman and her babies on the side of the road

A good man came by put bottled water in her lap

She smiled and I cried saying why didn t I do that

And I; I don t know I don t know if I give anything at all

With these millions of moments that I ll take before I fall

But I; I do know I do know that I d give anything at all

For just one meaningful moment to catch me; catch me when I fall.

I d known her for many years of my life

She was a lady poets write about. She was my wife.

I never found my pen, never gave her the time or the dance

Now just like everything else I m asking for one last chance

And I; I don t know I don t know if I give anything at all

With these millions of moments that I ll take before I fall

But I; I do know I do know that I d give anything at all

For just one meaningful moment to catch me; catch me when I fall.

And there s still life in me and a wife with me so I ll strive to be

A man who takes the chance, learns to dance, and grabs the moment with these hands

With these hands

And I; I do know I do know that I d give anything at all

For just one meaningful moment to catch me; catch me when I

And I; I don t know I don t know if I give anything at all

With these millions of moments that I ll take before I fall

But I; I do know I do know that I d give anything at all

For just one meaningful moment to catch me; catch me when I fall.

Catch me when I f
