When your heart is breaking
When your faith has been shaken
When the road you’re taking
Takes you nowhere at all
When it all, seems to all go wrong
Remember, nobody can always be strong
We all fall down
I will catch you, never let you go
I won’t let you, go through it alone
So don’t feel left out, we all fall down
We all fall down
When your dreams are shattered
When you feel broken and battered
When every step on the ladder
Takes you nowhere but down
And you lose ground, like you can’t hold on
Remember, nobody can always be strong
We all fall down
I will catch you, never let you go
I won’t let you, go through it alone
So don’t feel left out, we all fall
I will lift you, high above the rain
I’ll be with you, we all feel the pain
So don’t feel left out, we all fall down
We all fall down
Everyone breaks
You’ll get hurt sometimes, in this life
You fly so high, you crash and burn sometimes
And I want you to know, you are not alone
We all fall down (we all fall down)
I will catch you, never let you go
I won’t let you, go through it alone
So don’t feel left out, we all fall
I will lift you, high above the rain
I’ll be with you, we all feel the pain
So don’t feel left out, we all fall down
We all fall
I will catch you (I will get you)
I won’t let you
So don’t feel left out, we all fall down
We all fall down
