Lord, you know I've tried so hard
To do the things I should
In everything I say and do
And all things that I could

But the world keeps calling me
Time and time again, it seems
And before I know what's hitting me
I've let you down again

And I'm falling down
You know I'm falling down
And I don't understand
Why I keep losing ground

But every time I do, if I look up to you
Then I'll stop falling down
Yes, I'll stop falling down because of you

People say they understand
They don't try to put me down
But, Lord, you know it rips apart
The witness that I have

How I wish that I could be the man
That you want me to be
But you know that's impossible
If I try without you

And I'm falling down
You know I'm falling down
And I don't understand
Why I keep losing ground
But every time I do, if I look up to you
Then I'll stop falling down
Yes, I'll stop falling down because of you

Falling down
You know I'm falling down
And I don't understand
Why I keep losing ground

But every time I do, if I look up to you
Then I'll stop falling down
Yes, I'll stop falling down because of you
Falling down

You know I'm falling down
And I don't understand
Why I keep losing ground
But every time I do, if I look up to you
Then I'll stop falling down,
Yes, I'll stop falling down because of you, you
