********************************
Lost til you're found
Stuck in a forest; running through; no light shines through; the sweat drips down your face; you feel the fear and it shows on your face; you feel like someone's watching you but when you turn around, no one is there; you keep wandering around; looking for any way out

Swim til you drown
You stumble in a river; the weeds grab hold of your feet; you gasp for air; desperately swimming; you cannot free yourself; you jerk, you pull, you fiercely fight; you use every ounce in you; finally your feet are released and your race your lungs to the surface

Know that we all fall down
You are gasping for air; you are choking; you start sobbing; you look back at the river like an enemy; mad that you fell down . . .

Love til you hate
You stand up looking around desperately; still dripping and smelling of your life struggle; you start stepping away; you are filled with hate; that you are where you are; with no way out; you then feel it again; the presence that was there before; you see a panther; why is it even there; you take off; your lungs are screaming; you barely have enough air to think; you come to a cliff; only one choice

Jump til you break
You are falling; you try grabbing onto long branches that hang from the sky; the trees have no mercy on you; everything seems to move away as you almost grip; the trees below you get thicker; you are slowing down finally you slam down hard on the ground; you scream; your arm is broken; but you can't stay there; you must keep going

Know that we all fall down
You push yourself; you keep stepping; one break, one fall won't kill you; you walk towards the lighter side of the forest you are in now; something is different; the air becomes cleaner and it's easier to breathe; you begin to see the sun; your aching bones are yelling for the freedom; your will was crashing down; Now you know . . . .

All fall down, we all fall down, all fall down
We all fall down, all fall down, all fall down

Lost til you're found
Swim til you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love til you hate
Jump til you break
Know that we all fall down
