Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We all come along in our own given time
No way to compare such unique design
But there’s one common trait to the scheme of it all
Some of us fly, all of us fall
[Verse 2]
When life deals you a hand, you don’t throw it away
And the cards that you draw are the cards that you play
Some don’t give a damn, some give it their all
Some of us fly, but all of us fall
[Bridge]
Some spiral down in a circle
Some climb too steeply and stall
Some make the bet, some ponder it yet
Some pass, some raise, some call
Some play it smart, I had a ball
Some of us fly, but all of us fall
[Verse 3]
Some squander life, some turn it around
Some look to the sky, but they can’t leave the ground
Some reach for the stars when they’re already tall
Some of us fly, but all of us fall
