Every Time You Fall

This is the song "Every Time You Fall" from the Academy for New Musical Theatre mini-musical "Cain and Abel: the Naked Truth." Music by Madley Katarungan, Book by Myrna Emata, Lyrics by Kellen Blair.

In this scene, God vents about humankind's nonstop whining.

"Every Time You Fall"

God:

When Adam was alone,
The moaning never stopped.
But the moans have only grown
Since the population popped.
It feels like every time I get a break,
You've found another way to make the same mistake!

Every time you're up against a wall, you call.
Even when that wall is really small, you call.
You're always standing tall when you're on top of it all.
But every time you fall, you call!

Even though you're free to live your will, you whine.
Gave you every skill you need and still, you whine.
Your cup begins to fill and then you're suddenly fine.
But every time you spill, you whine!

Can't you see the beauty all around you?
The buds that bloom with freshly fallen rain.
Each sight and sound around you should astound you.
But you complain and all of a sudden it
Makes me feel like floodin' it!

Every time the wind stirs up the dust, you shout.
Even when it's just a little gust, you shout.
It's really quite disgusting how you endlessly pout.
But every time I bust you out,
You find another matter you can chatter about
And you call, and you whine, and you shout!
