A hundred lives fall from the sky
The papers print statistic lines
But children cry without their fathers
Pack my bags I’m already
Chorus:
And it’s all the same
It’s another day
I sold my soul
I threw away my innocence
And it feels so wrong
All my senses died and I am numb
My mother called me late last night
Her sister died on her morning flight
So gather all her sons and daughters
And her mother
Tip my hat I’m on my way, so late
Only time can make me see
All the life was stripped from me
Only God can save me now
Only God can break my heart...break my heart
By Jacob McGinnis and Jeff Goff
Behind the Song:“’Numb’ is a song about far more than it seems. Life has a way of desensitizing our hearts. Some friends had spent so many years saving themselves for marriage. After a few years in college, they started becoming numb to the Holy Spirit. They lost a special gift that they could have given to their future spouse. The song is not just about premaritial sex, it’s about so much more. I wrote the song about how we become numb to all sin in our life, and how often God has to break our hearts in order to wake us up.” - Jacob McGinnis (
