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.
