Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won't let me go, won't let me fly by
It's taking its toll down on my soul
'Cause I know what I need in my life
Don't let me lose my sight of you
Don't let me lose my sight
I don't want to fall away from You
I don't want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me to the ground
This world keeps making me cry
But I'm gonna try, gonnd try to fly, gonna fly high
Don't want to give into the sin
Want to stay in You till the end
Don't want to lose my sight of You
Don't want to lose my sight
I don't want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me on down
I don't want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me to the ground
I want to fly
Into the sky
And turn my back on this old world
And leave it all behind
This place is not my home
It's got nothing for me
Only leaves me with emptiness
And tears in my eyes
I don't want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me on down
I don't want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me to the ground
I don't want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me on down
I don't want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me to the ground
