Verse 1:
Tears rush down my sweater, pain so severe stains remain
Rushing down the memory lane there goes my medulla oblongata
Asking to what do I owe this salty treat?
Ignorance robbed me of knowledge I thought I possessed
Ignorance what have you done?
Like leaves at fall you dished out my shortcomings boundlessly
I skipped a much needed assimilation for empty words exchange
Rushed happiness or rushed misery?
Ants gather food for rainy seasons, little did I know a fool (that) I am pools of tears I retained
Had too much time on my hands hoping that charm would pay my dues
Could I have not learned that self- glorification caused Titanic to sink and The Beatles to part?
Could he have done it alone?
I guess not, humpty dumpty please don’t be mad at me with you I fall
Chorus:
Give myself a chance
Give myself a word a day and keep my tears at bay
And never have to fall another day
Just above the stars and never on my knees I fall
Verse 2:
Wisdom please tell your offspring knowledge to give me a hand I’m falling
Falling into a dark and damp pit like Lucifer never to rise again
Knowledge please feed my mind; let the veins give a clap as the new blood rushes down to deliver My gloomy eyes from blindness, my decaying nails from extinction
Flesh flaked off the shoulders, limbs rotten, hair fallen, ribs outlined, my future argued
What stands as hips, or backside remains sagging
Oh knees glorious knees what has become of you?
My last fall pushed you to the limits now you seem at position even as I stand
Chorus:
Give myself a chance
Give myself a word a day and keep my tears at bay
And never have to fall another day
Just above the stars and never on my knees I fall
Verse 3:
Knowledge is but a word, known to all that choose to know
Even as I many are made better in knowledge
Snatch it for yourself and make liberty your prisoner, resources made supplies
Puyaka!
Let the blood well rejuvenate and overflow like a volcano down to illuminate my eyes
Hips and backside delivered from nip/tuck
Your shoulders, round and not just obtuse angles found in geometry
Limbs revived
Knees given a fix but not coke
Who was I kidding thinking I knew it all?
I fell flat on my side stretched like a rolled out dough
But in an instant realisation I’m rising up like a muffin, risen above the brim
Chorus:
Knowledge give myself a chance
Give myself a word a day and keep my tears at bay
And never have to fall another day
Just above the stars and never for you on my knees I fall
