[Verse 1: Derri Daugherty]
Like the snake who calls the lizard a reptile
Like the chimp who calls the jester a clown
When I tell you, "You oughta be ashamed or yourself"
I've gotta set my knees on the ground
[Chorus 1: Derri Daugherty]
O how the mighty have fallen
O how the reckless are crawling now
O how the mighty have fallen
Such a long way down
[Verse 2: Derri Daugherty]
Thank you, please don't swing your shovel at my head, friend
No, I truly won't appreciate that sound
When you tell me I surely should atone for my sin
I hope you know the fate of the proud
[Chorus 1: Derri Daugherty]
O how the mighty have fallen
O how the reckless are crawling now
O how the mighty have fallen
Such a long way down
[Bridge: Marc Byrd]
I'm already dying
I'm already flying
Toward the sun
Toward the sun
[Verse 1: Derri Daugherty]
Like the snake who calls the lizard a reptile
Like the chimp who calls the jester a clown
When I tell you, "You oughta be ashamed or yourself"
I've gotta set my knees on the ground
[Chorus 2: Derri Daugherty and Marc Byrd]
O how the mighty have fallen
(Such a long way)
O how the drunk man is crawling now
(A long way down)
O how the mighty have fallen
Such a long way down
(Such a long way)
Such a long way down
(A long way down)
Such a long way down
