Fall Before You Run

When you shoot your gun
You're afraid, but I run
So is it really you
Who's running from a truce?

And when I cling to love
I'm a hand, she's a glove
Do I really have it
If I have to grasp it?

I've never left and not arrived
And I've never died and not survived
I've never lost and not won
Crawl before you walk
You gotta fall before you run

Say what you you think you have to say
Beauty leads the way
Beauty will define this
Even if we deny it

To have and to hold
Covenants grow old
We don't have to resist it
If it never existed

I've never left and not arrived
I've never died and not survived
I've never lost and not won
Crawl before you walk
You gotta fall before you run

So speak it
Say a word
Name it
Do the work
I'll sing it
When it hurts
The melody can restore

I've never left
I've never died
And I've never lost
Crawl before you walk
Crawl before you walk
You gotta fall before you run
