I just re-discovered one of my favorite songs ever (and it happens to be playing in my playlist right now). The song is entitled "When You Come Back Down" and it's by the great Christian group Nickel Creek. I found this song rather accidentally in Spring 2006 while mixing songs for the current gradating class of my high school's Senior Slide Show.It tells of a person being the foundation, the rock, the friend who will always be there, no matter the distance, no matter the change, no matter the time, and is one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. Not only does it have a beautiful sound, but an equally as beautiful message that really touches me.
I like to think that, at some point in our lives, each of us are either that person flying high, thinking back to the one that is holding the line and waiting for us, or the one seeing our friend off to their journeys and successes, yet keeping their memory and love close to our heart.
Take every chance you dare,
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down
Why not select the song on the right and read through the lyrics at the same time? Enjoy.
"When You Come Back Down"
You got to leave me now, you got to go alone
You got to chase a dream, one that's all your own
Before it slips away
When you're flyin' high, take my heart along
I'll be the harmony to every lonely song
That you learn to play
When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down
I'll keep lookin' up, awaitin' your return
My greatest fear will be that you will crash and burn
And I won't feel your fire
I'll be the other hand that always holds the line
Connectin' in between your sweet heart and mine
I'm strung out on that wire
And I'll be on the other end, to hear you when you call
Angel, you were born to fly, and if you get too high
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll catch you when you fall
[Bridge:]
Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
Angel, let me help you with your wings
When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
You got to leave me now, you got to go alone
You got to chase a dream, one that's all your own
Before it slips away
When you're flyin' high, take my heart along
I'll be the harmony to every lonely song
That you learn to play
When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down
I'll keep lookin' up, awaitin' your return
My greatest fear will be that you will crash and burn
And I won't feel your fire
I'll be the other hand that always holds the line
Connectin' in between your sweet heart and mine
I'm strung out on that wire
And I'll be on the other end, to hear you when you call
Angel, you were born to fly, and if you get too high
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll catch you when you fall
[Bridge:]
Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
Angel, let me help you with your wings
When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
Take every chance you dare,
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down
Nice, huh?
