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
Then tied the shoelace that read, Superman


We all fall down
It's the gettin' 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 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 ok to cry


We all fall down
It's the gettin' 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 he heads on home
Sees his kids out playin' in the yard

It's 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 gettin' 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 got to get back up
