Fallen Down

I've seen this face before It somehow looks familiar Tattered and weatherworn A sad, pathetic creature And once you stood so strong Your eyes alight with promise You vowed to carry on A heart once beat in your chest Cut forward to another day Another time, another place You're not who you used to be And I wonder why I knew you once When you were young Before you knew What you'd become But that was then And this is now You've lost your way You've fallen down You can't just walk away You can't choose to ignore me I stand in front of you A stranger stands before me What happened to the boy Head filled with aspirations His dreams within his reach His life a celebration? Cut forward to another day Another time, another place You're not who you used to be And I wonder why I knew you once When you were young Before you knew What you'd become But that was then And this is now You've lost your way You've fallen down And now there's nothing left Your face a pale reflection With only emptiness You've lost your life's direction What happened to the man Who couldn't be defeated Who always stood his ground When lesser men retreated? Cut forward to another day Another time, another place You're not who you used to be And I wonder why I knew you once When you were young Before you knew What you'd become But that was then And this is now You've lost your way You've fallen down
