Fall
Nicole C. Mullen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Exposing my weakness to infinite power
With all of my weight, I lean heavy on you
With bags on my back,and in both my hands too
[Chorus]
I fall, I fall on you
I fall, I fall on you
See my world keeps on spinning,out of control
And am dizzy from trying,to stand on my own
But you promised to catch me ,if I tumbled down
Cause the way to the sky,starts low to the ground
[Chorus]
[Repeat x4]
Please don't move, please don't move, please don't move,
From here, from here
[Chorus]

She leans on this power with all her weight and carries bags in both hands, indicating that she is carrying heavy burdens. In the chorus, she repeats the words "I fall, I fall on you," reaffirming her complete trust in the higher power to catch her.
The second verse describes the feeling of being out of control and unable to stand on her own, while the bridge highlights the promise of the higher power to catch her if she falls. The final repetition of the chorus emphasizes the importance of staying in this moment of surrender and asking the higher power not to move from this place.
Overall, "Fall" is a powerful song about humility and the healing that comes from letting go of our pride and turning to God for support. It reminds us that when we can't handle life on our own, we can always fall on a higher power that is infinitely greater than we are.
