Falling - New Model Army

I said — Father, I’m going to change the world

He said — Don’t you think that maybe, son.

It’s changed enough already?

Don’t try to justify the things you live by This fear you carry with you is not of your own making

Let it go — falling, falling, falling away

11,000 feet, we’re out of breath and still climbing up High above the snow-line in the glittering ice

And beneath us, like an ocean, the white clouds slowly drifting

Breaking upon the mountain

Let it go — falling, falling, falling away

Wasting all the years just waiting on a promise

Undelivered but still not broken

And the world ruses by you way out of control

Like a carousel of noise with wild spinning lights

And sometimes we both sit here

Paralysed with tension, seized up tight

You want to make it safe, you want to make it okay

But this fear you carry with you is not of your own making

Let it go — falling, falling, falling away
