Quietly Enjoying This Fall

When I'm a little run down,
When life has stretched me out.
I feel like screaming out loud.
 that's not what I'm about.
I will stand, I will stand tall
Raise both my hands high,
And quietly enjoy this fall.

When I have been pushed to far.
I find myself near the edge of life.
It's these times that define who you are.
I know in the end I will be alright.
I will answer calmly when fate calls
Raise my hands up high,
And quietly enjoy this fall.

When the strain is more then I can bare.
When it hurts to bad to even breathe.
Don't think that I don't really care.
Screaming is just not really me.
Cause I do care about it all.
I'm just to busy hands raised.
Quietly enjoying this fall.

When life is going great, nothing better.
When everything is going my way.
Right down to the very letter.
Nothing is better then that day.
You see me standing tall.
Hands raised up high.
Quietly enjoying this fall.
