We All Fall Down


Nothin’ ever falls together-It always falls apart
When something’s broken its forever-Specially if it is a heart
Entropy, it holds its captives In a spiral viral fall
There’s no way to be adaptive In a violent free for all

We all fall down there’s no falling up
Every feeble plan devils will disrupt
If we have to fall better be on our face
Pleading for mercy pleading for grace

We are stumbling in a dire descent
We can be so wrong that our hope is spent
From the day were born headed to the grave
From womb to tomb how can we be saved?

Bridge
Shall we shake our fist At the only one who can lift
Us from our sin and hate Who can avert our fate?
If we could just fail forward as we fall upon our face
We could cast ourselves headlong on Grace

There is only one who can carry us
The very one who made us from dust
Yeah we all fall down but he’ll pick us up
And drink the wrath carried in our cup

We all fall down there’s no falling up
Every feeble plan devils will disrupt
If we have to fall better be on our face
Pleading for mercy pleading for grace

Love lifted me even me
Love lifted me
When nothing else could help
He picked me up and set me free.
