Falling From Above (Live)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Grandpa said to cousin Jed, sittin' on the porch "I won't retire but I might retread Seems like that guy singing this song been doing it for a long time Is there anything he knows that he ain't said?" [Chorus] "Sing the song for freedom, sing a song for love Sing a song for depressed angels falling from above" [Verse 2] Grandpa held the paper pretendin' he could see But he couldn't read without his glasses on "How can all these people afford so many things? When I was young people wore what they had on" And mama said [Chorus] "A little love and affection in everything you do Will makе the world a better placе with or without you" A little love and affection in everything you do [Verse 3] Knockin' down a late night shot, the hero and the artist compared Goals and visions and afterthoughts for the 21st century But mostly came up with nothin' and the truth was never learned And the human race just kept rolling on [Chorus] Rollin' through the fightin', rollin' through the religious wars Rollin' down the temple walls and the church's exposed sores Rollin' through the fightin', the religious wars Mostly came up with nothin' [Verse 3] "Grandpa here's your glasses, you'll see much better now," Said that young girl of Edith and Earl's But Grandpa just kept starin', he was lost in some distant thought Then he turned and said to that young girl [Chorus] "A little love and affection in everything you do Will make the world a better place with or without you" With or without you, a better place With or without you, with or without you [Verse 4] Hear that rooster crowin' down on the Double E It's a new morning dawnin' on the green Bouncin' off the towers, the sun's headed down to the street The business meeting window shades are drawn [Chorus] Another morning edition is headed for the porch Because Grandma puts down the paper before Grandpa raises his fork [Chorus] A little love and affection in everything you do A better place Hear the rooster crowing down on the Double E
