Gravity

I'm glad to see you near the golden lights
What you dreamed of all along
Your chance to sing, to be heard
But if you don't mind, just a word

It seems that you're ascending fast
Before you go take a look around
Be nice to those you meet on your way up
You'll see us again on your way down

What goes up, you know the rest
I don't need to tell you
There's more to life than doing your best
And when things fall
It happens fast
Being first now doesn't mean you won't be last

If you push me aside today
Who would care right now?
But while you're winning the things you choose
May come to haunt you should you lose

The world's full of killers, I'm sure you know
You better watch your step
What you needed once before
Some day you may need even more

What goes up, you know the rest
I don't need to tell you
There's more to life than doing your best
And when things fall
It happens fast
Being first now doesn't mean you won't be last

And when they've picked apart your carcass
And they've left you for the birds
Don't expect help from what you bury
Thinking it's unnecessary

You're in the moment right now
I understand why you turn away
I only hope I get the chance
To not help you out some day

What goes up, you know the rest
I don't need to tell you
There's more to life than doing your best
And when things fall
It happens fast
Being first now doesn't mean you won't be last
