Tumblin' Down Songtext

Tumblin' Down Songtext
Just like a fool on sinkin′ sand
I didn't know what was goin′ down
I let my pride and vanity
Turn me away from reality
All of my strength and security
Were built upon the walls of society
But all I had were sandcastles
Next to the ragin' sea, don't you see?
They came a-tumblin′ down
(They came a-tumblin′ down)
Just like the walls of Jericho
They came a-tumblin' down
(They came a-tumblin′ down)
Just like the walls of Jericho
They came a-tumblin' down
Then in the ruins of my broken life
I saw the gleam of a distant light
I felt the warmth of a gentle touch
I felt the strength as it picked me up
Love was in His eyes as He said to me
"Don′t put your faith in physical things
Nothin' of this world is forever
You′ve got to see, don't you see?"
I didn't know what was goin′ down
I let my pride and vanity
Turn me away from reality
All of my strength and security
Were built upon the walls of society
But all I had were sandcastles
Next to the ragin' sea, don't you see?
They came a-tumblin′ down
(They came a-tumblin′ down)
Just like the walls of Jericho
They came a-tumblin' down
(They came a-tumblin′ down)
Just like the walls of Jericho
They came a-tumblin' down
Then in the ruins of my broken life
I saw the gleam of a distant light
I felt the warmth of a gentle touch
I felt the strength as it picked me up
Love was in His eyes as He said to me
"Don′t put your faith in physical things
Nothin' of this world is forever
You′ve got to see, don't you see?"
