Gravity

(Verse 1)

I’ve been a high-altitude drifter, a bird on a broken wing

Tired of the whistling wind and the hollow songs I sing

I've spent decades climbing just to see how far I’d fall

Bracing for the impact with my back against the wall

But I’m tired of the thin air and the lonely, hollow height

I’m ready for the pull of earth to lead me through the night.

(Chorus)

’Cause your love is the gravity that pulls me to my safe place

The honest weight of home, the kindness in your face

I’m dropping through my memories, I’m falling from the sky

But I don’t have to grit my teeth or say a last goodbye

Against your strength, the world feels right

You’re my soft landing every

night.

(Verse 2)

There’s a beautiful protectiveness in how you watch the gate

A steady kind of patience that can outlast any fate

I don’t have to fight the wind or the way the seasons spin

I know exactly where your mercy and my life begin

You’re the anchor in the red clay, the safe ground beneath my feet

The only kind of surrender that ever felt complete.

(Bridge)

I’ve had my share of crashes, I’ve tasted the bitter dust

Trading in my hardened heart for a little bit of trust

I’m coming down for good now, let the wild world roll on by

I’ve found a better reason than the reach of the open sky.

(Chorus)

’Cause your love is the gravity that pulls me to my safe place

The honest weight of home, the kindness in your face

I’m dropping through my memories, I’m falling from the sky

But I don’t have to grit my teeth or say a last goodbye

Against your strength, the world feels right

You’re my soft landing every

night.

(Outro)

Heel to the dirt.

Heart on the mend.

I’m finally home,

Around the bend.

My soft landing.
