"Fighting Gravity"

There's a part of me
That reaches for integrity
So fleeting, it seems
Before I'm weighed down by humanity

There's a light I see
It feels so far away at times
But it's all that keeps me
From jumping clear out of line

[chorus]
We're heading downhill
Going faster, moving headlong all the time
In the direction
Of disaster, ever steeper the incline
We've let our wings down
On the cold ground, letting gravity decide
We have to fight
We have to fight

There's a Love I know
Or at least that's what I claim
But fail to wear it on my chest
Oh my God, I'm so ashamed

There's a kingdom near
Breathing in the here and now
That we all say we belong to
But our sin's still singing out
It's singing out!

[chorus]
We're heading downhill
Going faster, moving headlong all the time
In the direction
Of disaster, ever steeper the incline
We've let our wings down
On the cold ground, letting gravity decide
We have to fight
We have to fight
We have to fight

[bridge]
I'm not saying we can't be
Pulled out of this in time
I'm not doubting any power
In the hand of the Divine
But if our hearts aren't listening
Will we go when the time arrives?

[chorus]
We're heading downhill
Going faster, moving headlong all the time
In the direction
Of disaster, ever steeper the incline
We've let our wings down
On the cold ground, letting gravity decide
We have to fight
We have to fight

[outro]
We've given way to insecurity
But we'll burst through with golden purity
Don't let it hold you down
No, don't let it hold you down
We've given into our depravity
Making compromise with gravity
Don't let it hold you down
Grace lifts your feet right off the ground
