Falling Upright

Verse 1

The ground keeps moving under quiet feet

Days lean sideways, nights don’t feel asleep

I drop my keys, my thoughts, my sense of time

Still breathing through the cracks I find

Pre-Chorus

I lose my balance, feel the pull

But there’s a rhythm holding me still—

Chorus

I’m falling upright

Arms open wide

Gravity bends

But I don’t break inside

I’m falling upright

Through dust and light

Even when I’m going down

I land in my own life

Verse 2

Everyone’s carrying a private storm

I let it pass me, I stay warm

Their weight is heavy, but it’s not mine

I keep my spine in a gentle line

Pre-Chorus

I tip forward, heart unsure

Feet still learning how to endure—

Chorus

I’m falling upright

Arms open wide

Gravity bends

But I don’t break inside

I’m falling upright

Through dust and light

Even when I’m going down

I land in my own life

Bridge

I don’t need to hit the floor to know I fell

I don’t need the dark to prove I’m not well

I can lean, I can sway, I can almost fall apart

And still protect the center of my heart

Final Chorus

I’m falling upright

Still standing somehow

The world tilts hard

But I’m here right now

I’m falling upright

Soft, but aligned

Even when I’m going down

I arrive as mine
