Earth will be there
Earth will be there
To catch us when we fall
Earth will be there
Earth will be there
Where there's the water or the land
Earth will be there
Earth will be there
Like outstretched-ed hands
To catch us when we fall
Please children
Remembеr this
Who gonna catch you
Who gonna catch you
Who gonna catch you when you fall
No matter how far
Who gonna catch you
Who gonna catch you
Who gonna catch you when you fall
Who's gonna catch you
Who's gonna catch you
Who's gonna catch you whеn you fall
Earth will be there
Earth will be there
Still goin' around
Still goin' around

(You watch me fall from grace)
Twirling, tumbling through space, I'm falling, I'm coming
I think about my grandmother's hands
Deep and red earth
I think about the strength of my grandmother's hands
Holding it all, the weight of it all
I'm coming
How soft is the landing?
I'm coming
Is it soft like cotton?
Is it soft like new plantations?
How soft is the landing?
I'm coming
I am thinking about my grandmother's hands
Deep, deep, deep in Alabama dirt
Deep, deep the winds of change returning, returning
I think about my grandmother's heart
The weight of it all
Returning, how soft is the landing?
Earth will be there

If mother not there
Your grandmother's not there
Your father's not there
Your grandfather's not there
Who's gonna catch you
Who's gonna catch you
Who's gonna catch you when you fall
Who's gonna catch you
Who's gonna catch you
Who's gonna catch you when we fall (when we fall)
Who's gonna catch you
Who's gonna catch you (Who's gonna catch us)
Who's gonna catch you
Who's gonna catch you (Who's gonna catch us)
Who's gonna catch you when we fall
Who's gonna catch you (who's gonna catch you)
Who's gonna catch you (who's gonna catch us)
Who's gonna catch you (who's gonna catch us)
Who's gonna catch you (who's gonna catch us)
