Crashing Down - David Rovics

It can happen in a moment

And sometimes it does

When what could be is

And what shouldn’t be was

There are times

When you gotta stand steady

There are other times

When you gotta be ready

The window can open

Seems so wide but

You can never tell

When it’s gonna slam shut

One day you’re a target

On the firing ranges

The next day all of a sudden

Everything changes

When it all, when it all, when it all comes crashing down

So easy to feel

Like you’re standing still

Then the scene is revealed

And you’re on top of the hill

At that point you know

You can let it go by

Or spread your wings

And take to the sky

When what you know

May all be true

But sometimes all that’s real

Is what you do

Some moments are coming

Others have came

And then there are those

When you’ve just gotta take aim
