A Lesson in Gravity

I can't believe I'm standing here
I thought my world's ending was near
I guess I was wrong about that
'Cause life goes on
I've learned that nothing's set in stone
I've got a family of my own
I keep my head up for them 'cause life goes on

No one's gonna save me, no one's gonna overtake me
Nothing to prove and I got so much to lose
But I'll get through, i'll get through

I've felt the weight of gravity
I'm only who I have to be
The moment arrives so fast and then it's gone
I'm just a stranger in this town
Someone is up 'cause someone's down
You can envy what others have but then it's gone

We could stand here all night
I could tell you it will be alright
Until you see first hand, you just won't understand
