lyrics

Our days of desperation are numbered
This spirit prophet spoke to me between the lines of a dream
But I found my way out of that slumber
Floating through the mystery into the great infinity

Sometimes one must fall in order to understand
That if you want to make God laugh, tell them your plans
Sometimes one must fall in order to understand
If you want to live in the light, you must know the darkness

Now once again I find I'm tracing the steps of the ancients
And naturally I've arrived to this crossroads of humanity
Discovering avenues of love and hate and patience
Discovering freedom and those that think they're free

Sometimes one must fall in order to understand
That if you want to make God laugh, tell them your plans
Sometimes one must fall in order to understand
If you want to live in the light, you must know the darkness

I thought my will was thy will, I thought my path divine
But the path that I took
Was made by the footprints left behind
And I studied the scriptures
With context in mind
For every culture to discover God and music
Is only a matter of time

Sometimes one must fall in order to understand
That if you want to make God laugh, tell them your plans
Sometimes one must fall in order to understand
If you want to live in the light, you must know the darkness
