[00:00.00]Kareem Salama - When I Fall
[00:10.32]I remember driving down on three fifty nine
[00:16.60]Saw a homeless veteran riding his bike
[00:22.99]The red white and blue waving off his handle bars
[00:28.55]And all us who sent him off to war driving by in our cars
[00:34.94]And I recall a hot day in the city of Cairo
[00:41.29]Saw an old woman and her babies on the side of the road
[00:47.48]A good man came by put bottled water in her lap
[00:53.85]She smiled and I cried saying why didn t I do that
[01:00.26]
[01:00.50]And I; I don t know I don t know if I give anything at all
[01:06.82]With these millions of moments that I ll take before I fall
[01:13.22]But I; I do know I do know that I d give anything at all
[01:19.57]For just one meaningful moment to catch me; catch me when I fall.
[01:28.19]
[01:33.71]I d known her for many years of my life
[01:39.09]She was a lady poets write about. She was my wife.
[01:45.05]I never found my pen, never gave her the time or the dance
[01:51.33]Now just like everything else I m asking for one last chance
[01:58.25]And I; I don t know I don t know if I give anything at all
[02:04.45]With these millions of moments that I ll take before I fall
[02:10.80]But I; I do know I do know that I d give anything at all
[02:17.16]For just one meaningful moment to catch me; catch me when I fall.
[02:25.96]
[02:37.79]And there s still life in me and a wife with me so I ll strive to be
[02:43.75]A man who takes the chance, learns to dance, and grabs the moment with these hands
[02:54.75]With these hands
[02:59.43]And I; I do know I do know that I d give anything at all
[03:08.36]For just one meaningful moment to catch me; catch me when I
[03:15.65]And I; I don t know I don t know if I give anything at all
[03:21.26]With these millions of moments that I ll take before I fall
[03:27.56]But I; I do know I do know that I d give anything at all
[03:33.97]For just one meaningful moment to catch me; catch me when I fall.
[03:43.61]
[03:46.02]Catch me when I fall
