about

This song was written by Chris Bartram. It's dedicated to his friend Keith Jackman who passed away. It's a song of loss and balancing hope with fear, helping his friend take his final journey up to the sky.

lyrics

Now the day is coming to its end,
There’s no heat left in the sun.
The world, it turns to shadow,
The long night has begun.
And everything is ending,
And you’re juggling hope with fear,
Because gravity is all that holds you here.
Gravity is all that holds you here.

The harmonies begin to fade
Til there’s only a gentle hum.
The beat is losing its rhythm,
There’s no more voice in the drum.
The last note of the music
Rings out so still and clear,
And gravity is all that holds you here,
Gravity is all that holds you here.

And when your story comes full circle,
And a new peace you have found,
You’re heading up towards that sky,
Your feet have already left the ground,
Well I will hold on fast to you,
So you don’t float away and disappear,
When gravity is all that holds you here.

Yes, I will hold on fast to you
So you don’t float away and disappear….
When gravity is all that holds you here.
