She says, you know the monkey bar rules
As she kisses away his playground bruise
You don't have to skip a bar each time
To make it to the other side
She picked him up from out of the sand
And ties his shoelace that read "superman"
We all fall down
It's the getting' back up that really counts
We live and we learn
To help someone up when it's their turn
In life there's only one guarantee
Your feet won't always be on the ground
'Cause we all fall down
She says, I know what you're goin' through
As she talks to the door of her daughter's room
Your heart feels like it's been broken in two
But baby I'm here for you
The door opened and she stepped inside
She put her arms around her and said, it's okay to cry
We all fall down
It's the getting' back up that really counts
We live and we learn
To help someone up when it's their turn
In life there's only one guarantee
Your feet won't always be on the ground
'Cause we all fall down
He's forty-five and his job is gone
Cleans out his desk and heads on home
Sees his kids out playin' in the yard
Been a while since he's been hit so hard
He's as scared as a man can be
He tells his wife and she says, honey look at me
We all fall down
It's the getting' back up that really counts
We live and we learn
To help someone up when it's their turn
In life there's only one guarantee
Your feet won't always be on the ground
'Cause we all fall down
We all fall down
But you gotta get back up
