Why do our failures seem to have a voice
They say we're lost and we don't have a choice
They’re telling us that we’re not capable
They say our prison's inescapable
CHORUS:
Stand up now
They can't hold us down
Stand up now
Get up off the ground
Why does our brokenness keep whispering
It’s telling us that we’re not anything
I say no fall is going to keep us out
This fear is something we’ll forget about
Chorus
bridge:
We’re fallen – it can’t hold us down
These failures – they hold us down
We’re broken – they can’t hold us down
We’re fallen – get up off the ground
Behind the Song:'This song reflects the idea that our failures and brokenness seem to have a voice that tells us we're nothing, incapable and worthless. Hopefully the melody will motivate listeners to stand up to such nonsense, realize our worth, and live like we can overcome …because we can. We don't have to remain fallen; we don't have to remain broken - our failures can't hold us down' - David Zach (
