The city lies in crimson red
Said its prayers and burned its bed
Are saints or sinners better fed
When both must beg for bread?
I'm just a part of the pavement
It's all I'll ever be
But in my heart's a dream of standing
Up and walking free
I let it fall
I let it fall
I let it fall
Oh, fall, oh, fall
On me
I let it fall
I let it fall
I let it fall
Oh, fall, oh, fall
On me now
See, I met a man the other day
Sitting holy on the street
He held court with the prostitutes
The liars, bums, and cheats
He clearеd out all my alibis
And air-tight deceits
He told mе there was someone he thought that I should meet
I let it fall
I let it fall
I let it fall
Oh, fall, oh, fall
On me
I let it fall
I let it fall
I let it fall
Oh, fall, oh, fall
On me now
Well, I asked him for a dollar
He said he'd love to give me change
Must've spoken different languages
'Cause his next words were strange
He said, "Your sins are all forgiven
Your transgressions all forgotten"
I said buddy, where's my buck?
He said a dollar matters not
I let it fall
I let it fall
I let it fall
Oh, fall, oh, fall
On me
I let it fall
I let it fall
I let it fall
Oh, fall, oh, fall
On me now
Since then I've laid here thinking in my bed once red, now white
Something's feeling different, maybe
Since then I've laid here, thinking in my bed
What's red, now white
Something's feeling different, oh maybe the holy man was right
I let it fall
I let it fall
I let it fall
Oh, fall, oh, fall
On me
I let it fall
I let it fall
I let it fall
Oh, fall
Let that grace fall down on me
