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
