From the recording When the World Comes Tumbling Down
Lyrics
I watched the walls collapse like sand,
a kingdom slipping through my hands.
The echoes fill an empty room,
I’m left alone with all this gloom.
Is there a way to breathe again?
Or is this where the story ends?
I’m reaching out but I can’t find,
a hand to pull me back this time.
When the world comes tumbling down,
and there’s no safe ground, no sound.
Do you hear me calling out?
Is there a way to turn this around?
When the world comes tumbling down.
The pieces cut me where I stand,
a broken map, no promised land.
Every dream I built with care,
lies in ruins, scattered there.
Is there a light that cuts the night?
A way to make the wrongs feel right?
Or am I lost beyond repair,
a ghost that fades into the air?
When the world comes tumbling down,
and there’s no safe ground, no sound.
Do you hear me calling out?
Is there a way to turn this around?
When the world comes tumbling down.
I’m crying out for mercy now,
teach me how to live somehow.
If there’s a way, then show me where,
’cause I can’t stand this weight I bear.
When the world comes tumbling down,
and there’s no safe ground, no sound.
Do you hear me calling out?
Is there a way to turn this around?
When the world comes tumbling down…
tumbling down…
Is there a way out now?
Or do I drown… when it all falls down?
