Gravity Lyrics


Tryin' to make it to Heaven, stuck on the moon
How beautiful Earth is from this point of view
So much evil back on the ground
Gravity keeps on bringing me down, down, down
Yeah, oh, oh, oh
Bringin' me down
Yeah, oh
Yeah
Launcher sent to let my light shine
Like the sun that illuminates the sky so bright
Like the stars that chase away the dawn this night
Church why can't we be more like the moon that glow, let's go
Lord, I wanna to be where You are
But in my flesh, Lord, I can only go so far
It's like a test, every time I try to raise the bar
I wanna wish a free leap but there's too much gravity
Tryin' to make it to Heaven, stuck on the moon
How beautiful Earth is from this point of view

So much evil back on the ground
Gravity keeps on bringing me down
So much hatred, famine and wars
I don't wanna go back anymore
I'm gonna share with the world the peace that I found
But gravity keeps on bringing me down
Gravity keeps bringing me down
Gravity keeps bringing me down
Gravity keeps bringing me down
Gravity keeps bringing me down
If I can just find a way
From the negative energy that sunders faith
Get on a spaceship, take a trip to space
Go with me sightseeing through the Milky Way
Oh, did You make Pluto, Jupiter and Mars?
Only You can make Venus, Neptune and stars
In fact makes me feel like I can just surf in gravity
Brings me right back down to Earth
Tryin' to make it to Heaven, stuck on the moon
How beautiful Earth is from this point of view
So much evil back on the ground
Gravity keeps on bringing me down
So much hatred, famine and wars
I don't wanna go back any more
Gonna share the world the peace that I found
But gravity keeps on bringing me down
Gravity keeps bringing me down
Gravity keeps bringing me down
Gravity keeps bringing me down
Gravity keeps bringing me down
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, oh yeah
Oh, eh, oh, oh

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Born and raised in the Motor City , Haddon was another gospel child prodigy, both as minister and musician. He gave his first sermon at the church of his father, Bishop Clarence Haddon, at age 11, and was directing the choir by age 13.

Haddon began his recording career in the mid 90s with the Voices of Unity on the small Tyscot label. As the group leader for their three albums, Haddon expressed his forward looking musical view, merging elements of soul, hip-hop and funk in the group's Gospel music. VOU had some mild success on the Gospel charts, but by the late 90s Haddon was ready to move more clearly front and center as a solo artist. His first two solo albums, This is My Story and Chainbreaker continued his artistic development and made some moderate noise on the Gospel charts.

However, I’m not sure that even the devoted fan base he had been accumulating could have anticipated his late 2002 release, Lost and Found, his first on giant Gospel label Verity. A project as ambitious as Tonex’s noted debut, Pronounced Toe-Nay, Lost and Found is an exhaustive, inspired opus by a Gospel artist who, with its release, clearly declared himself a new Gospel star.

The disc begins sounding like a dance Gospel album, leading off with two funky numbers, “D.D.” and “Oh Yeah” (the latter featuring the ubiquitous Fred Hammond). From there it covers broad territory, including bluesy, southern soul (“Ain’t Got Nothing” and the radio hit, “Sinner’s Prayer”), Praise & Worship (“Worship Medley”), Prince-style electric soul (“It’s Me”), big ballads (“Stand Still”) and joyous calypso (“The Praises Go (Up, Up, Up)”). Haddon is literally bursting with musical ideas on the album and, amazingly, virtually all work. Equally impressive is the strong lyrical content of the disc – much of it autobiographical -- focusing principally on the power of redemption and the ability of faith to rescue lost or miscast souls.

It took me almost two months to review Lost and Found, mostly because it took so long to fully absorb such an ambitious project. Now I can clearly say that this stands, with Mary Mary’s “Thankful” and Tonex’s “O2,” as perhaps the definitive modern Gospel album of this decade, and is a must for both Soul and Gospel lovers.
