Why do we fall to our knees

Skirmish: Fall on your knees (@acousticmaddie)
Liner Notes
Slightly different take on the same interesting prompt
Lyrics
Why do we fall to our knees When others land on their feet Why do we say thank you and please While others plan our defeat
Why do we always look up to others As if they know how to play the game Why do we challenge our friends and our lovers And not treat everyone the same
Why do we fall to our knees A universal sign of despair Why do we gnash and grind our teeth Why do we pull our hair
Why don’t we stand tall On our knees makes no sense at all Why do we fall to our knees When we hit the wall?

Great perspective. I love a lyric that asks a question .. the strumming and vocal set the perfect tone for the questioning perspective.

I love all the differences we create for a skirmish! I love how many questions you ask!

Great questions. I wish people (including myself) could be more accepting of who we are. I love it that you did another one and as always your voice is Wonderful
