ExP:
I used to believe life was infinite, simple and plain/
Filled with sunny days, no wind that could change the state of play/
Trips to the park or we, might go to royal armouries/
Folks managed to make me feel like nothing could do harm to me/
...But time zips by and claims life/
The only time I won't see it's when it takes mine/
Just hope I have the opportunity to say bye/
And can lay on my deathbed knowing that I gave my/
All/
Cos a great mind falls every day they will take by force/
Don't get saved life's short/
Many brave lives fought just to stay wise for/
More time but Alzheimers hunts it's game like sport/
Living every day like it's your last requires energy/
But is a more effective approach than saying let it be/
People change and become a distant memory/
Diseases that take over their brain incapacitate them steadily/
Eventually there's nothing left in the end to see/
Just the person you remember being different from who they're meant to be/
Some deal with it like the person they knew is dead/
The character they become is someone new instead/
Some always see the person they loved since birth/
And can't think of a greater curse they could live with on this earth/
And to know it'll get worse, 'till you're sitting in a hearse/
While the person that you love disappears without a search//

CHORUS
We all fall down just don't give in
We've all fought to win challenges
Taught to think cancerous
Thoughts within damage us
Force a grin, manage it

We might fall down but won't give in
Hold on cos tomorrow's
A gift that's not promised us
Think past the obvious
Distractions blocking us

JND:
I've heard 'em say tomorrow's a gift /
And we all face sorrow, it's a part of the trip /
At the start as a kid, so oblivious of what's to come /
I can't imagine how it feels to have lost someone /

I had the fear about a year ago /
Working through the tears, the view unclear, that's the pain involved /
Got my mind racing thinking the worst /
And without a diagnosis it was making it worse /

Scared for my pops life, stay strong for my mum /
But overthinking is the arch nemesis of her son /
When every thought can be spun so negative /
The pessimist so relieved having been proven wrong /

Expecting the c-word on the tip of your tongue /
And the doctors you see, those appointments'll come /
More often as time passes /
Make the best of your life's chances before the light's vanquished /

Tell your family you love 'em, it's important they know /
Coz one day they'll be gone but not forgotten, I'm sure /
Good times are the ones you should try to remember /
And appreciate the life that they spent here /

CHORUS
We all fall down just don't give in
We've all fought to win challenges
Taught to think cancerous
Thoughts within damage us
Force a grin, manage it

We might fall down but won't give in
Hold on cos tomorrow's
A gift that's not promised us
Think past the obvious
Distractions blocking us
