Name: Fall Apart
Duration: P00H04M36S
Description: The very first song on my very first album. It's interesting to be doing this one again almost twelve years later. I'm not really the same guy I was then. But I still believe this...just maybe not as optimistically. If I wrote it today, there'd probably be a few "if/then" statements worked into the lyric. Actually...if I wrote it today, it'd probably be "Transience." Huh.

The very first song on my very first album. It's interesting to be doing this one again almost twelve years later. I'm not really the same guy I was then. But I still believe this...just maybe not as optimistically. If I wrote it today, there'd probably be a few "if/then" statements worked into the lyric.

lyrics

I believe that things are passing away.
I don't really recognize anything in my life.
My family and friends don't look the same.
My own reflection don't look quite right.
I believe that things are dying out,
but that's okay with me; I'll be fine.
'Cause there are some things that will always last.
Faith, hope, and love will always survive.

So let the world pass right by me.
Let this earth stand still in time
and let time itself melt away.
Let it all fall down, let me leave it all behind.
And let faith always bind me,
and let hope always surround my heart.
Let love fall over me from the heavens.
Let everything else fall apart.

I believe that things are passing away.
But that's alright, I'll still play by the rules.
I'll still sing praises and I'll still pray
and I'll try to give thanks for what I'll never lose.
I'll thank you, God for the walk of faith.
I'll praise you for the gift of hope.
I'm so amazed by your awesome love.
Don't ever let me let you go.

So let the world pass right by me.
Let this earth stand still in time
and let time itself melt away.
Let it all fall down, let me leave it all behind.
And let faith always bind me,
and let hope always surround my heart.
Let love fall over me from the heavens.
Let everything else fall apart.

Wheel within a Wheel

Grace Basement's driving force is Kevin Buckley. I went to high school with him and he was a great musician even then. Like fine wine, his music has gotten even more wonderful over time. Derek Brink
