When It All Falls Down (feat. Sylvana Joyce & the Moment, Ramin Karimloo & Amber Ardolino)

It might sound strange - would you believe
Almost every night I've had a dream
Of standing neath a mountain high
Reaches past the clouds into the sky
As a child first I was afraid
I cried and I would run away
Until one night I braved a try
And every night since I've climbed

The years passed on and I endured
I learned that victory was not assured
Sometimes I'd think I'd found the end
Only to clear the clouds and find more ahead
Frustration turned into fatigue
And years brought age to burden me
Muscles strained, joints calcified
Limbs stiff as the rocks I climb

But lately now the mountain cracks and shakes
I rush to crest before it all gives way

But then it all falls down and I plummet to the ground
Reaching for somewhere to hold
And when it all falls down
I'm alone and begin to drown
Into a darkness never ending
And I wake up cold and sweating

It might sound crazy but Ben, I've seen
The man you've always yearned to be
A man worthy of his legacy
And he's standing right in front of me
Our journey has been treacherous
Each twist and turn has tested us
And with every climb, we've answered the call
Ben, I have no regrets at all

In my 4am soliloquies
My own doubts have brought me to my knees
But while I won't deny the fears
There's joy waiting in these brand new years
Whatever hardships lie beyond
Won't hold a candle to the strength of our bond
What I would give to let you know
That when you stand before your charge - you don't stand alone

If time enshrined this moment in a frame
You'd see us forged in righteous golden flame

'Cause if it all falls down, in embers all around
I'll be your light in the dark
'Cause if it all falls down and you forget your crown
I will be there to remind you
Be the spark to reignite you

Oh, should I fall
Will someone catch me
Should I fall
Will the world forget me
Should I fall
Oh, I can hear them calling me now
Should I fall
And I let you down

And five years from now
When you're caring for a mess of broken bones and consequence
You know, I dread about the day when maybe I fall away
When you look into my eyes and don't see me
Don't see me

Well, if you fall, fall down on me
Fall down on me
Fall down on me
Fall down on me
Fall down on me
Fall down on me

If you fall, fall down on me
Should I fall?
Fall down on me
Fall down on me
Should I fall?
Fall down

Oh our lives are just another day
Hoping for our world to not give way
Praying for a little more time in the sun
So if you're falling from a great height
Through the darkness on the other side
I'll be there waiting when it's done

So if it all falls down, spread your arms way out
I'll be there to catch you in the light
Fall on me

So when it all falls down
Fall on me

Fall down on me
