Fall From Grace

The glass ceiling got tougher
The leap to the top got longer
Nothing you can say can help you
Nothing you can do can save you

You decided to stick it out
Even while riding a cloud of doubt
You wouldn’t let them ruin the ride
You wouldn’t let them kill the ride

While relaxing in the king’s chair
You wanted to rule in a way that’s fair
You never thought it would be hard
Even though they said it would be hard

They protested against your soul
Before you started to dig your hole
You never realized the danger your in
Who knew the danger was within

Your rise to the top crowned you
Your fall from grace defeated you
Now there’s no where to go
Now no one cares where go
