Down

Heard this song the other day on christian radio via XiiaLive. Here's sharing this song, called Down by Mat Kearney. He's really good , just check out his other songs too.


Artist: Mat Kearney
Album: Young Love


It took his breath away holding the bank page
He got the letter they're gonna take their house away
I'm 'bout to have a daughter he yells it in the air
Feeling the weight of a world that just don't care

He lit a cigarette, felt it on his lip
Driving home on a long road with regret
He pulls the window down, shouts it out loud
Pushing the pedal and praying lord help us now

He's looking for a reason watching the sun coming down
Can you hear when we call
There when we fall
Standing our backs against the wall

Top of our lungs, hallelujah
Where pain and our love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness, coming down now
We all need forgiveness

Coming round now
It's coming down now

It was Monday night under the street lights
She's turning seventeen in seven nights
Out on the fairgrounds walking in monotone
She kicks a bottle as empty as her soul

On the road alone in a
House that's half a home
They give her pills just to kill
When she feels alone

She's looking for a reason watching the sun coming down
Can you hear when we call
There when we fall
Standing our backs against the wall

Top of our lungs, hallelujah
Where pain and our love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness, coming down now
We all need forgiveness

Take these broken streets, take these broken dreams
Hold my hand like we we're walking free
Tell me it will change I see it in your face
The hope the fear the love the faith

I'm working late again
Slaving to make the rent
I'm slanging coffee with dreams heavy as cement
They're coming one by one the face of falling love

I write a song with a prayer as I slide the cups
Can you hear when we call
There when we fall
Standing our backs against the wall

Top of our lungs hallelujah
Where pain and love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness
Coming down now

We all need forgiveness
Can you hear when we call
There when we fall
Standing our backs against the wall

At the top of our lungs how far we've come
Were pain and love bleed into one
All that we need it's so bitter sweet
The pain that opens our eyes to see

Baby when all you see is darkness
Coming down now
We all need forgiveness
Coming round now

It's coming round now, it's coming down now
It's coming down now

               Acts 2:21 - And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
