" What Makes Us Fall"

When times are bad and grief is high, what makes us fall.
Friends begin to stray away,what makes us fall.
Fill our car with gas or give our children food, what makes us fall.
The weak becomes the devil's bait, what makes us fall.
Family's homes are lost to debt, what makes us fall
The quest for happiness seems a waste, what makes us fall.
Vacations become a thing of the past, what makes us fall.
Love becomes so hard to hold, what makes us fall
U.S. goods become extinct, what makes us fall
The greed of of others tighten the rope, what makes us fall.
Losing faith in God above, That's what makes us fall
