In the Eyes of Men He Falls (poem) versuri

Versuri Leonard Cohen – In the Eyes of Men He Falls (poem) lyrics

This is a um… a small prayer

In the eyes of men he falls
And ın his own eyes too
He falls from his high place
He trips on his achievement

He falls to you
He falls to know you
It is sad they say
See his disgrace, say the ones at his heel

But he falls radiantly toward the light to which he falls
They cannot see who lifts him as he falls
Or how his falling changes
And he himself bewildered
‘Till his heart cries out to bless the one who holds him in his falling

And in his fall he hears his heart cry out
His heart explains why he is falling
Why he had to fall, and he gives over to the fall
Blessed are you, clasp of falling

He falls into the sky, he falls into the light
None can hurt him as he falls
Blessed are you, shield of falling
Wrapped in his fall, concealed within his fall,
He finds his place, he is gathered in

While his hair streams back
And his clothes tear in the wind
He is held up, comforted, he enters into the place of his fall
Blessed are you, embrace of the falling,
Foundation of the light, master of the human accident
