lyrics

What if I fall?


I've gone down more times than I can recall


And i'm starting to believe
That I can't be free


I'm choking down these lies
That try to drown me


Lord, hear my shackled call




So tired of all this chaos


So worn from all this pain


In this unsteady madness


I'm pulling on these chains


And if my chains still bring me down


I'm still on the ground




When I break down


When the weight of the world gives way


And troubles abound
Oh, how can I move on?


From pride that's around


I'll bend at my knees
And cast down my crown


And glory at my defeat

So tired of all this chaos


So worn from all this pain


In this unsteady madness


I'm pulling on these chains


And if my chains still bring me down


I'm still on the ground




So let them all fall


When I feel the weight and my spirit is small


I'll bask in the release

So tired of all this chaos


So worn from all this pain


In this unsteady madness


I'm pulling on these chains


And if my chains still bring me down


And if my chains still bring me down


And if my chains still bring me down


I'm still on the ground




I'm standing on the ground
